title: Regulation of cyclic AMP metabolism and lipolysis in isolated rat fat cells by insulin, N6-(phenylisopropyl) adenosine and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine.
abstract: The increases in cyclic AMP accumulation and lipolysis by rat fat cells incubated in the presence of catecholamines were abolished by N6-(phenylisopropyl) adenosine. The same inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation was seen in the presence of 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine but lipolysis was unaffected. In contrast, insulin inhibited lipolysis without affecting cyclic AMP accumulation by norepinephrine plus adenosine deaminase. These results suggest that there are either multiple pools of cyclic AMP or that ther exists some other mechanism which is involved in the regulation of lipolysis by hormones.
