title: Role of phospholipid in adrenaline-induced lipolysis and cyclic AMP production.
abstract: Lipid micelles consisting of a glyceride mixture (triolein, diolein, and monoolein) and lecithin bound adrenaline-14C more strongly than did micelles consisting of the glyceride mixture only. Lipid micelles consisting of the glyceride mixture and phosphatidic acid also bound adrenaline-14C effectivily, whereas lipid micelles consisting of the glyceride mixture and diglyceride, obtained from lecithin, did not bind the hormone strongly. Both phenoxybenzamine (an alpha- blocker) and propranolol (a beta-blocker) strongly inhibited the association between adrenaline-14C and lipid micelles consisting of the glyceride mixture and lecithin. Propranolol, inhibited adrenaline-induced lipolysis in both fat cells and fat globules, whereas, phenoxybenzamine, did not affect adrenaline-induced lipolysis. Both agents reduced adrenaline-induced adenyl-cyclase activation in fat cell ghosts. Phospholipid was also found to be related with adrenaline-mediated adenylcyclase activation.
