Effects of thyroid hormone deficiency on lipolysis in chicken fat cells.
Effect of lack of thyroid hormones on lipolysis in chicken fat cells was studied. Isolated fat cells from hypothyroid chickens in contrast to normal animals, have an impaired ability to give lipolytic response to glucagon. However activation of triglyceride lipolysis was induced to the same level by theophylline in hypothyroid and normal chickens.
