title: Effects of mazindol on lipid metabolism of human adipose tissue in vitro.
abstract: The interaction of mazindol with catecholamine in regulating peripheral lipid metabolism was studied in vitro. Noradrenaline-induced and adrenaline-induced glycerol release was augmented by addition of 50 ng mazindol. On the other hand, isoproterenol-induced glycerol release was suppressed by addition of 50 ng mazindol. Basal and dopamine-induced glycerol release was not altered by addition of 50 ng mazindol. These results suggest that mazindol may interact with alpha 2-adrenergic receptors in adipose tissue.
