Epinephrine plasma thresholds for lipolytic effects in man: measurements of fatty acid transport with [l-13C]palmitic acid.
TLDR
Clutter et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the lipolytic effects of epinephrine occur at plasma levels approximately threefold basal values and lipolysis is more sensitive than glycogenolysis to increments in plasma Epinephrine.Abstract:
To determine the plasma epinephrine thresholds for its lipolytic effect, 60-min epinephrine infusions at nominal rates of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 micrograms/min were performed in each of four normal young adult men while they also received a simultaneous infusion of [1-13C]palmitic acid to estimate inflow transport of plasma free fatty acids. These 20 infusions resulted in steady-state plasma epinephrine concentrations ranging from 12 to 870 pg/ml. Plasma epinephrine thresholds for changes in blood glucose, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate were in the 150--200-pg/ml range reported by us previously (Clutter, W. E., D. M. Bier, S. D. Shah, and P. E. Cryer. 1980. J. Clin. Invest. 66: 94--101.). Increments in plasma glycerol and free fatty acids and in the inflow and outflow transport of palmitate, however, occurred at lower plasma epinephrine thresholds in the range of 75 to 125 pg/ml. Palmitate clearance was unaffected at any steady-state epinephrine level produced. These data indicate that (a) the lipolytic effects of epinephrine occur at plasma levels approximately threefold basal values and (b) lipolysis is more sensitive than glycogenolysis to increments in plasma epinephrine.read more

Effects of heat stress on postabsorptive metabolism and energetics.
TL;DR: The observations indicate that heat-stressed animals employ novel homeorhetic strategies to direct metabolic and fuel selection priorities independent of nutrient intake or energy balance, and markedly alters postabsorptive carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism independently of reduced feed intake.

In vivo regulation of lipolysis in humans
TL;DR: Considerable additional research is needed in order to fully understand both normal lipolytic regulation and the abnormalities of lipolysis which accompany pathological conditions.

Fuel metabolism in men and women during and after long-duration exercise
TL;DR: The view that different priorities are placed on lipid and carbohydrate oxidation during exercise in men and women is supported and that these gender-based differences extend to the catecholamine response to exercise.

TL;DR: The health benefits of weight loss and the efficacy of current weight loss strategies in obese persons with type 2 diabetes are evaluated and the results of lifestyle intervention trials designed to reduce conversion to type 1 diabetes in at-risk individuals are reviewed.

TL;DR: E endurance exercise training results in decreased plasma FFA turnover and oxidation during a 90- to 120-min bout of submaximal exercise because of a slower rate of FFA release from adipose tissue.

TL;DR: Special consideration is given to the extent to which these divergencies are due to diflerences in experimental findings brought about by dserences in Experimental conditions and procedures, and are due, on the other hand, to differences in interpretation and calculation.

Norepinephrine and Epinephrine Release and Adrenergic Mediation of Smoking-Associated Hemodynamic and Metabolic Events
TL;DR: Since significant smoking-associated increments, in pulse rate, blood pressure and blood lactate/pyruvate ratio, preceded measurable increments in plasma catecholamine concentrations, but were adrenergically mediated, these changes should be attributed to norepinephrine released locally from adrenergic axon terminals within the tissues rather than to increments in circulating catechlamines.

TL;DR: The plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine assay, when compared to currently available methods, provides a substantial decrease in the assay time while providing a 10-fold increase in sensitivity which allows the analysis to be performed on 0.75 ml or less of plasma.
