Properties of thyrotropin (TSH) binding to plasma membranes prepared from rat fat tissues.

Effects of monoclonal antibody on fat tissue development, carcass composition, growth performance and fat metabolism of pigs by subcutaneous injection

“…Some studies have demonstrated the cytotoxic potential of antibody against adipocytes in vivo (Futter, 1992 andKestin et al, 1993) and in vitro (De clercq et al, 1997). There have been also some evidences that antibodies against various protein components of adipocyte plasma membranes could block the binding of various hormones to their receptors on the plasma membrane to interrupt the signal transduction, and/or to disturb the assembly of various transporters to the membrane to influence the substance transport across the membrane (Kaise et al, 1988;Oka et al, 1988). It was reported that the sizes of adipocytes became smaller when treated with monoclonal antibody against porcine adipocyte plasma membrane (De clercq et al, 1997).…”

Effect of chicken egg yolk antibody against adipose tissue plasma membranes on carcass composition and lipogenic hormones and enzymes in pigs

“…Some studies have demonstrated the cytotoxic potential of antisera to adipocytes in vivo (Futter et al, 1992;Kestin et al, 1993) and in vitro (De clercq et al, 1997). There have been also some evidences that antibodies against various protein components of adipocyte plasma membranes could block the binding of various hormones to their receptors on the plasma membrane to interrupt the signal transduction, and/or to disturb the assembly of various transporters to the membrane to influence the substance transport across the membrane (Kaise et al, 1988;Oka et al, 1988;Ros et al, 1988;Suzuki et al, 1988).
