Summary
In isolated human fat cells of the subcutaneous abdominal region the effect of general anaesthesia as compared to local anaesthesia on basal and noradrenaline-stimulated lipolysis has been investigated. It could be shown that procain hydrochloride exerted a marked antilipolytic action when addedin vitro. Preincubation of the whole adipose tissue with procain hydrochloride prior to the isolation procedure did not alter the lipolytic activity in the fat cells. There was no significant difference in lipolysis between fat cells obtained from patients under general anaesthesia and cells from individuals under local anaesthesia with procain hydrochloride.
Zusammenfassung
In isolierten menschlichen Fettzellen des abdominellen Subcutanfettgewebes wurde der Effekt einer Allgemeinnarkose im Vergleich zur Lokalanaesthesie auf die basale und Noradrenalin-induzierte Lipolyse untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß Procainhydrochloridin vitro stark antilipolytisch wirksam war. Präinkubation des Fettgewebes mit Procainhydrochlorid hatte keinen Einfluß auf die lipolytische Aktivität in den isolierten Fettzellen. Zwischen Allgemeinnarkose und Lokalanaesthesie bestand hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Lipolyse in isolierten Fettzellen kein signifikanter Unterschied.
