title: The action of dopamine upon glycerol and fatty acid release by rat brown adipose tissue.
abstract: Dopamine was shown to be effective in releasing glycerol and nonesterified fatty acid from brown fat adipocytes. The response was inhibited by dopamine-antagonists, and by a beta-blocker. This is further evidence that dopamine may be important in the release of energy from brown fat in newborn and cold-adapted animals.
