A: effect of rimonabant (RIM) of the subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue on lipolysis in vitro. Concentration-response curves to isoproterenol; lipolysis was determined as the rate of glycerol release. B: protein expression of phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL-P)/HSL and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) gene expression in the SC and VIS adipose tissue. Images of blots were cropped from the same gel. C: β-1 adrenergic receptor (β1R) and β3R gene expressions. P values vs. pre-fat period [placebo (PL), n = 9; rimonabant (RIM), n = 11; *P < 0.05] and vs. high-fat diet (HFD) (#P < 0.05). Data are means ± SE.
