Influence of Weaning on Swine Adipose Tissue Lipolysis

H. J. Mersmann, G. Phinney and L. J. Brown1

Shell Development Company, Biological Sciences Research Center,2, Modesto 95352

Abstract

Weaning of swine from a milk diet to a grain diet (lower fat and protein) yielded a decrease in the epinephrine-stimulated maximal lipolytic rate as well as the sensitivity to epinephrine in adipose tissue slices. The dietary influence was not solely the caloric or fat content of the diet since a similar lard-fortified diet with caloric and fat content similar to the milk yielded maximal lipolytic rates and epinephrine sensitivities that were intermediate between the milk diet and the grain diet.
