Summary

Adrenaline and adenosine deaminase decreased the rate of phosphate uptake in isolated rat adipocytes. This effect was inhibited by N6(phenylisopropyl)adenosine. The rate of uptake was decreased by one third if the rats were given tri-iodothyrpnine prior to killing. In fat cells from hypothyroid rats, phosphate uptake was not sensitive to adrenaline. Sensitivity was restored by exogenous adenosine deaminase.
