Abstract
THE metabolism of adipose tissue is remarkably sensitive to the action of a number of hormones1,2. Epinephrine and ACTH, for example, when added in low concentrations to incubated adipose tissue, stimulate the release of fatty acids3–5, and addition of insulin to the incubated tissue can inhibit its response to these lipolytic agents6. The mechanism of action of this hormonal control of adipose tissue metabolism is not known nor is it established that all the effects manifested in vitro have physiological significance.
