Role of "local" hormones in regulation of lipolysis.
Lipid mobilization from adipose tissue can be activated by two distinct mechanisms, i.e. relief of inhibitory influences or reversal of a preexisting inhibition by lipolytic hormones. Adenosine and prostaglandins which are produced within adipose tissue may serve to maintain a functional state that is susceptible for stimulation and adjust non-stimulated lipolysis to the energetic demands of the organism.
