Regional variations in adipocyte lipolysis between subcutaneous and visceral fat may be
important for obesity complications. In the present study, we compared adrenergic regulation
of lipolysis in omental and subcutaneous adipocytes from obese (n= 15) and non-obese (n=
14) male subjects. Waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, plasma insulin, and plasma
triglycerides were increased in obesity. No regional differences in adrenoceptor lipolytic
function were observed in non-obese subjects with the exception of a slight increase in …
