Blood flow and net SAT fluxes during baseline (fasting) and isoprenaline infusion in lean and obese participants

	Lean		Obese
	Baseline (n = 13)	Isoprenaline (n = 10)	Baseline (n = 10)	Isoprenaline (n = 7)
ATBF [ml (100 g tissue)−1 min−1]	2.2 ± 0.2	6.3 ± 1.2	1.4 ± 0.2a	3.6 ± 0.6
Net SAT fluxes [nmol (100 g tissue)−1 min−1]
TAG	25 ± 8	43 ± 17	34 ± 29	113 ± 62
NEFA	−780 ± 160	−2,101 ± 371	−486 ± 101	−1,824 ± 667
Glycerol	−229 ± 49	−640 ± 148	−211 ± 51	−486 ± 128
Glucose	53 ± 49	−69 ± 151	−143 ± 96	−677 ± 632

Values are mean ± SEM

A positive net flux indicates net uptake from plasma, whereas a negative net flux indicates net tissue release
