Increased alpha 2-adrenergic binding sites and antilipolytic effect in adipocytes from genetically obese rats.

We have recently shown that functional alpha 2-adrenergic receptors, assessed by the alpha 2-agonist UK 14304, are present in rat white fat cells as in adipocytes of humans and other species. The aim of the present study was to further characterize rat fat cell alpha 2-adrenoceptors and to examine w...
