Some adrenomimetic drugs affecting lipolysis in human adipose tissue in vitro. 1976

J Wenkeová, and E Kuhn, and M Wenke

In human adipose tissue in vitro, dose-response curves were followed for different adrenomimetics releasing free fatty acids and glycerol into an albumin-containing medium. Phenylephrine, salbutamol and t-butyl-norsynephrine produced lipolytic actions whose maximum did not exceed 20% of the maximal isoproterenol lipolysis. Phentolamine (1 x 10(-5) M) did not potentiate the effect of any of these drugs. When using salbutamol or t-butyl-norsynephrine for antagonizing isoproterenol actions, typical antagonism was found. The parallel shift of the isoproterenol curves showed pA2 values 5.8 for salbutamol and 5.7 for t-butyl-norsynephrine. Comparison of human and rat adipose tissue reactivity shows identical affinities of the drugs studied in both tissues, but related to isoproterenol, diminished intrinsic activities of salbutamol and t-butyl-norsynephrine in human adipose tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009655 Octopamine An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D(-) form is more potent than the L(+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates. Norsynephrine,p-Octopamine,para-Octopamine,4-Octopamine,Norsympatol,alpha-(Aminoethyl)-4-hydroxybenzenemethanol
D010646 Phentolamine A nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.
