Figure 2. Effects of adrenaline on AMPK activity in rat adipocytes in vivo.

Figure 2

Animals were injected with vehicle or adrenaline (Adr) (25 μg/100 g of body mass) and 15 min after injection, epididymal fat pads were removed and assayed for AMPK activity. (A and B) Both AMPKα1 (A) and AMPKα2 (B) activities were increased by an adrenaline injection. (C and D) Adrenaline increased phosphorylation of AMPK (C) and ACC (D) in vivo. Results are means±S.E.M.; n=4–5 per group. *P<0.05 compared with control.
