Abstract

Catecholamine-induced lipolysis in adipocytes decreases with age and appears, at least in young animals, to be influenced by thyroid hormones. In the myocardium, the effets of catecholamines are modulated by thyroid hormones through alterations of the β-adrenergic receptor-adenylate cyclase complex (1,2). The aim of this work was to document the influence of thyroid hormones on the properties of the β-receptor-adenylate cyclase complex and to examine whether the sensitivity to thyroid hormones is altered during aging.
