Abstract
1. The small population of [3H]clonidine binding sites in rat fat cell membranes do not have the characteristics of typical alpha 2-adrenoceptors. 2. Clonidine (an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist) has no antilipolytic effect on rat fat cells stimulated by theophylline. 3. In contrast to the rat, [3H]clonidine labels an alpha 2-adrenoceptor in hamster fat cell membranes and clonidine exerts a strong antilipolytic effect on theophylline-stimulated lipolysis.Entities:
