Abstract

In dog, surrenalectomy reduces isoprenalino-depending lipolysis but still more adrenalino-depending lipolysis. Phentolamine potentializes the response to adrenaline but does not that observed with isoprenaline. Surrenalectomy unmasks an alpha adrenergical effect of adrenaline on adipocytes of dog adipose tissue.
