    Lipolysis in white fat cells plays a central role in the regulation of
    energy balance.  Triacylglycerols (TAG) stored in the adipocytes are
    hydrolysed consecutively to hormone sensitive lipase (HSL)
    activation during the stimulation of lipolysis.  HSL catalyses the
    hydrolysis of TAG to diacylglycerol and then to monoacylglycerol.  The
    hydrolysis of the monoacylglycerol-fatty acid bond is assured by a
    monoacylglycerol lipase.  HSL is phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent
    protein kinase.  Genomic organization and functional domains of rodent and
    human hormone-sensitive lipase have recently been studied.  Acute
    regulation of HSL by catecholamines and insulin is well documented.
    Non-esterified fatty acids and glycerol released by adipose tissue are
    taken up by other tissues where they are metabolized.  The local blood
    flow in adipose tissue modulates the mobilization and the re-utilization
    of fatty acids.  Local blood flow and lipolysis are regulated by hormonal
    factors and influenced by a number of physiological factors such as diets,
    exercise, aging and sex.  Insulin and catecholamines are the major
    hormonal regulators of lipolysis.  Their control of lipolysis is subjected
    to variations according to the anatomical localization of adipose tissue
    deposits.  In human, lipolysis differs in visceral and subcutaneous
    deposits.  Insulin exerts its antilipolytic action through the stimulation
    of adipocyte phosphodiesterase 3B.  Four adrenoceptor subtypes are
    involved in the adrenergic regulation of white and brown fat cell
    lipolysis.  The control of adenylyl cyclase activity involves stimulatory
    beta1-, beta2- and beta3-adrenergic receptors and inhibitory
    alpha2-adrenoceptors.  Many clinical disorders are accompanied by
    alteration in adipocyte lipolysis.  Alteration of hormone-sensitive
    lipase activity and of catecholamine-induced lipolysis have been
    reported in obesity, familial combined hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance
    syndrome and diabetes.  Changes in beta- and alpha2-adrenoceptor ratios
    and function as well as impairment of HSL function have been proposed to
    explain the lipolytic disturbances.
