Antidiuretic hormone and lipolysis.
Lysine vasopressin did not increase plasma FFAs level in man and in rat Pitressin and lysine vasopressin did not influence adenyl cyclase activity in rat epididymal fat pad, while ornithine vasopressin induced a statistically significant adenyl cyclase increment. These findings suggest that the adipokinetic acticity of ADH which has been correlated only with the amino acid arginine is also correlated with ornithine.
