Abstract
The responsiveness towards catecholamines of normal and lipomatous fat cells of 2 [human] male subjects suffering from multiple symmetric lipomatosis was studied by a newly developed bioluminescent method for microdetermination of glycerol. Lipomatous fat cells displayed normal .alpha.2- and .beta.-adrenergic responsiveness in both subjects studied. The apparent discrepancies between the results and those reported by others support the contention that multiple symmetric lipomatosis is a symptom with various underlying causes rather than a nosological entity.Keywords
