1. In humans, ACTH has little lipolytic effect on adipose tissue. 2. The lipolytic effect of glucagon in adipose tissue is minimal in humans. 3. She also helped discover the ?lipotropin ( lipolytic hormone ). 4. Increased lipolytic activity during germination and sprouting causes hydrolysis of triacylglycerols to glycerol and constituent fatty acids. 5. Several studies have shown that cortisol can have a lipolytic effect ( promote the breakdown of fat ). 6. Experiments with cultured lipolytic effects, but only at high concentrations ( 0.1-1 mM ). 7. In neonates, acidic lipases are much more important, providing up to 50 % of total lipolytic activity. 8. These cells are also sensitive to lipogenic and lipolytic hormones and drugs, including epinephrine, isoproterenol, and insulin. 9. Walden, Jennifer L ., Discussion : A New Method to Quantify the Effect after Subcutaneous Injection of Lipolytic Substances. 10. Studies have revealed that " Monascus " species show strong gluco-amylase activity, but poor proteolytic and lipolytic enzyme production.
