SUMMARY

The lipolytic activity of human placental lactogen (HPL) was measured using adipose tissue pieces and free fat-cell suspensions. HPL in non-physiological concentrations stimulated lipolysis after a latent period of 2 h. The preincubation of tissue pieces with HPL in physiological concentrations (8 μg/ml) increased the rate of theophylline-stimulated lipolysis.
