SUMMARY

The effects of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) and thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) on rabbit adipose tissue were studied. LH-RH increased [14C]glucose oxidation and incorporation into fatty acids and had lipolytic activity, at the same time decreasing [14C]glucose incorporation in glyceride—glycerol fractions. TRH had no significant effect on glucose oxidation or lipolysis but decreased [14C]fatty acid synthesis and [14C]glucose incorporation into glyceride—glycerol fractions.
