Abstract

The addition of growth hormone alone to white fat cells from normal or hypophysectomized rats stimulated lipolysis. The lipolytic action of growth hormone was enhanced by the presence of glucocorticoids. Cycloheximide and dactinomycin blocked the lipolytic action of growth hormone on fat cells from hypophysectomized and normal rats in both the presence and absence of glucocorticoids.

Key words

Growth Hormone - Lipolysis - White Fat Cells - Cycloheximide - Dactinomycin - Dexamethasone - Theophylline
