Abstract
SUMMARY The lipolytic properties of a fraction of bovine pituitary extract were investigated. It was inactive in the rat and man under normal conditions, but after fasting for 48 hr., the extract promoted free fatty acid release from rat and human adipose tissue. Its significance as a fat-mobilizing hormone and its possible relationship to a fat-mobilizing substance excreted in the urine are discussed.
