[Control of lipid metabolism in experimental obesity].

Abstract

Experimental obesity syndromes are characterized by considerable fat accretion which may be the result of hyperinsulinemia. Adipose tissue accretion may be the result both of the excessive synthesis of triglycerides and a defect in their mobilization from adipose tissue stores. The adenylate cyclase system which appears to be the site of the defect in mobilization is studies in more detail.
