Lipid mobilization in obese hypophysectomized cockerels

Abstract

The APS Journal Legacy Content is the corpus of 100 years of historical scientific research from the American Physiological Society research journals. This package goes back to the first issue of each of the APS journals including the American Journal of Physiology, first published in 1898. The full text scanned images of the printed pages are easily searchable. Downloads quickly in PDF format.

Effect of Insulin Injections Upon Plasma Free Fatty Acids (F.F.A.) and Lipolysis of Adipose Tissues of White Leghorn Hens

“…Concomitantly, there was also an increase in F.F.A. from the adipose tissues, confirming previous reports (Gibson and Nalbandov, 1966;Lepkovsky et al, 1967). is an index of mobilization of fat from the adipose tissues of the chicken.…”

“…in the chicken (Table 2). in the adipose tissues and confirmed the suggestion of Gibson and Nalbandov (1966) that plasma F.F.A. in the adipose tissues and confirmed the suggestion of Gibson and Nalbandov (1966) that plasma F.F.A.…”

Glucagon-Stimulated Lipolysis of Primary Cultured Broiler Adipocytes

“…Obesity in poultry induced by genetic selection (Calabotta et al, 1983(Calabotta et al, , 1985 or by hypophysectomy (Gibson and Nalbandov, 1966;Chandrabose and Bensadoun, 1971) is attributed to a decrease in adipose tissue lipolysis rather than to an increase in liver lipogenesis. Therefore, under certain physiological conditions, lipolysis may be the predominant metabolic pathway influencing fat accretion in broilers.…”

Lipolysis in Chicken Adipose Tissue in Vitro

“…Both Carlson, Liljedahl, Verdy & Wirsen (1964) and Goodridge (1968a) reported that adrenaline did not affect lipolysis although Gibson & Nalbandov (1966a), using very high concentrations, succeeded in obtaining an effect. The importance of the pituitary in lipid metabolism in chickens was indicated when Gibson & Nalbandov (19666) found that hypophysectomized cockerels became markedly obese and they suggested that this was due to an impairment of fat mobilization. Heald, McLachlan & Rookledge (1965) found that the injection of 1-1-1-5 i.u.…”
