In a short-term study, adrenaline-induced lipolysis was less in adrenalectomized rats than in controls, though the cyclic AMP accumulation was not different. In adrenalectomized rats treated with corticosterone, lipase activity was as low as in untreated adrenalectomized rats, although adrenaline-induced lipolysis was not reduced. In a long-term study, no reduction in adrenaline-induced lipolysis or cyclic AMP accumulation was observed in adrenalectomized rats. The mechanism of the effect of adrenalectomy on adrenaline-induced lipolysis is discussed on the basis of these results.
