title: Plasma fatty acids and the control of lipolysis by cathecholamines.
abstract: The role of lipolysis in adipose tissue is described in relation to the maintentance of plasma levels of fatty acids. The molecular details of the hormonal control of lipolysis in the human adipocyte are discussed.
