Sympathetic control of white adipose tissue in lean and obese humans

Sympathetic control of white adipose tissue in lean and obese humans Aim:  To induce lipolysis, catecholamines could reach the adipocyte via the blood stream after being released from the adrenal medulla or, alternatively, via neuronal release in the vicinity of the fat cell. Sympatho‐neuronal effects on fat tissue lipolysis have been demonstrated in experimental animal models. However, the role of sympathetic nerves in the control of lipolysis in human white adipose tissue, which is sparsely innervated, has not been clarified. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Physiologica Wiley

Abstract

Aim:  To induce lipolysis, catecholamines could reach the adipocyte via the blood stream after being released from the adrenal medulla or, alternatively, via neuronal release in the vicinity of the fat cell. Sympatho‐neuronal effects on fat tissue lipolysis have been demonstrated in experimental animal models. However, the role of sympathetic nerves in the control of lipolysis in human white adipose tissue, which is sparsely innervated, has not been clarified.
