Abstract
Effect of neurohypophyseal hormones on FFA mobilization from the adipose tissue was studied in the dehydrated rat. Despite the fact that Lys-vasopressin decreased plasma FFA concentration in the normal rat, this hormone did not produce any effect on plasma FFA in the dehydrated rat. In contrast, insulin decreased plasma FFA concentration in the rat under the same condition. Oxytocin administration did not affect on plasma FFA in the normal rat; however, it increased both plasma FFA concentration and FFA release from the parametrial adipose tissue in the female dehydrated rat. Furthermore, in vitro addition of oxytocin also stimulated FFA release from the adipose tissue of female dehydrated rat.
