  • Title: The action of dopamine upon glycerol and fatty acid release by rat brown adipose tissue.
    Author: Maxwell GM, Crompton S, Smyth C.
    Journal: Arch Int Pharmacodyn Ther; 1987 May; 287(1):169-76. PubMed ID: 2888441.
    Abstract:
    Dopamine was shown to be effective in releasing glycerol and nonesterified fatty acid from brown fat adipocytes. The response was inhibited by dopamine-antagonists, and by a beta-blocker. This is further evidence that dopamine may be important in the release of energy from brown fat in newborn and cold-adapted animals.
