Neutral hormonesensitive lipase activity against 1(3)-mono[³H]oleoyl-2-oleylglycerol (MOME) and tri[³H]olein (TO) measured in skeletal muscle cells obtained from muscle biopsies during 60 min of cycling in normal (Con) and adrenalectomised subjects with saline (−Adr) or adrenaline (+Adr) infusion commencing at the onset of exercise. Values are means ±s.e.m.(n= 6).

^*Significantly different (P < 0.05) from rest.
