[Comparative study of adrenaline-induced lipolysis of human deltoid and trochanter adipose tissue].
In vitro lipolysis by adrenaline, adrenaline + phentolamine (alpha-blocker) and isoprenalin (beta-agonist) was studied in deltoid and trochanter adipose tissues of sixteen obese females (10 android and 6 gynoid). Lipolysis differs in the upper and lower parts of the body. The more the obesity predominates in the upper part of the body, the more this difference is significant. If the actions of adrenaline in gynoid obese women are identical in deltoid and trochanter adipose tissues, the alpha-antilipolytic effect is more powerful than the beta-antilipolytic effect on the trochanter adipose tissue of android obese women.
