Abstract:
In experiments on rats the chronic administration of beta-adrenoblocker obsidan (propranolol) in doses blocking the glycogenolytic and lipolytic effects of exogenous epinephrine does not prevent a decrease in the liver and heart glycogen level and an increase of free fatty acids (FFA) in the serum as well as of lipolytic activity of adipose tissue in vitro, which are produced by high doses of thyroxine.
