Abstract
Summary
Sheep β-LPH stimulated adenylate cyclase of isolated rat and rabbit adipose cells. Two doses of β-LPH were compared with two lipolytically equipotent doses of synthetic ACTH. ACTH was found to be more active in stimulating adenylate cyclase of rat fat cells while β-LPH was more potent in rabbit cells. β-LPH activation of adenylate cyclase was blocked when EGTA was added to the incubations. Differences in adenylate cyclase system in rats and rabbits were also observed.
