title: Adrenergic control of lipolysis in swine adipose tissue.
abstract: Most potential adrenergic compounds did not stimulate lipolysis in swine adipose tissue slices. Most of the sympatholytic agents antagonized lipolysis. Most beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic agonists were not active but many were active with rat adipose tissue. Catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine and isoproterenol), the resorcinol containing beta 2-agonists (terbutaline, metaproterenol and fenoterol) and the beta 1-agonist, dobutamine were active. The beta 1-antagonists were generally more potent and efficacious than the beta 2-antagonists. The swine adipose tissue adrenoceptor was not readily classified as either beta 1- or beta 2-specific.
