“…Investigations performed on obese mice have shown that lipogenesis and lipid mobifisation of the fat cell are apparently related to these morphological changes (Mayer, 1965;Herberg et al, 1970). Investigations in vitro of catecholamine-induced lipolysis of human adipose tissue in obesity resulted in contradictory observations and interpretations (Mosinger et al, 1965;BjSrntorp and Hood, 1966;Preiss et al, 1967;Thamer, 1969;Faulhaber et al, 1969;Goldrick and McLoughlin, 1970), the greater part of which can be explained by the differences in reference systems.…”
