Circulatory and Metabolic Processes in Adipose Tissue in vivo

Abstract

To permit the study in vivo of circulatory and metabolic processes in adipose tissue, a part of the dog's subcutaneous tissue was prepared with intact circulation and innervation. The preparation was found to be suitable for quantitative investigations on the nervous control of the blood flow and of the release of free fatty acids. We considered it to be of general interest to describe the method and some of its applications.
