The effect of insulin on concentration of plasma glycerol*
Intravenous infusion of insulin into anesthetized rabbits causes a decrease in the concentration of plasma glycerol. Insulin does not alter the in vitro release of glycerol from mesrnteric adipose tissue of fasting rabbits either in the presence or absence of glucose. Insulin increases the rate of d...

| Summary: | Intravenous infusion of insulin into anesthetized rabbits causes a decrease in the concentration of plasma glycerol. Insulin does not alter the in vitro release of glycerol from mesrnteric adipose tissue of fasting rabbits either in the presence or absence of glucose. Insulin increases the rate of disappearance of infused glycerol in vivo. Possible sites of insulin action to produce these effects are discussed. |
