Abstract

Theophylline under in vivo and in vitro conditions decreased the plasma free fatty acid level and adipose tissue free fatty acid production in fish (Abramis brama l ., Lucioperca lucioperca L.), frog (Rana ridibunda L.) and grass snake (Natrix natrix L.) After in vivo administration of nicotinic acid, the plasma free fatty acids remained unchanged in the fish, while in the frog, their level was raised. Nicotinic acid antagonised the effect of epinephrine and theophylline on the free fatty acid level in the fish. Because theophylline is known to increase and nicotinic acid to decrease the intracellular level of cychc 3’, 5’-adenosine monophosphate in the adipose tissue it is supposed that this nucleotide does not play role in the control of the lipolytic activity in the adipose tissue of lower vertebrates.
