Colchicine inhibition of the heparin-stimulated release of clearing-factor lipase from isolated fat-cells.

Abstract

When isolated fat-cells are incubated at 25 degrees C in serum-based media containing glucose, insulin and heparin, the rise that occurs in the clearing-factor lipase activity of the incubation medium is inhibited by colchicine. The rise in the fat-cell clearing-factor lipase activity that occurs during similar incubations in the absence of heparin is not affected by colchicine.
