title: Arginine vasotocin induces free fatty acid release from avian adipose tissue in vitro.
abstract: The effect of arginine vasotocin (AVT) on free fatty acid (FFA) release from pigeon adipose tissue slices incubated in vitro was studied. AVT at concentrations of 0.5 microgram/ml and 5.0 micrograms/ml was found to produce significant increases in the release of FFA from the adipose tissue. This augmentation of FFA release did not require the presence of hydrocortisone.
