REGULATORY ASPECTS OF LIPOGENESIS AND LIPOLYSIS IN ISOLATED ADIPOCYTES FROM THE SVALBARD REINDEER

Feed intake of ad lib.-fed captive Svalbard reindeer was maximal in summer and minimal in winter, and was accompanied by marked changes in cell size, lipogenic and lipolytic capacity of isolated adipocytes from these animals. Alterations in lipogenic enzyme activity and in the lipolytic activation s...

Description
Summary:Feed intake of ad lib.-fed captive Svalbard reindeer was maximal in summer and minimal in winter, and was accompanied by marked changes in cell size, lipogenic and lipolytic capacity of isolated adipocytes from these animals. Alterations in lipogenic enzyme activity and in the lipolytic activation system are discussed. Key words: Reindeer, feed intake, adipocytes, lipogenesis, liploysis
