title: Decreased sensitivity to insulin in white adipose tissue from adrenalectomised rats.
abstract: The ability of insulin to increase both [14C]-glucose incorporation into fatty acids and pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in incubated rat epididymal adipose tissues was considerably lessened after adrenalectomy. Insulin antagonism of adrenaline-stimulated lipolysis in isolated fat cells was abolished after adrenalectomy. Percentage stimulation of lipolysis above basal by adrenaline was not appreciably altered by adrenalectomy.
