PTH (1-84), PTH (1-37) and PTHrP stimulates adipocyte lipolysis.
The lipolytic action of PTH is paralleled by phosphorylation of HSL and perilipin 1.
Inhibition of PKA blocks the lipolytic action of PTH.
Inhibition of ERK, PKB, AMPK or CaMK has no effect on the lipolytic action of PTH.
Inhibition of PDE4 strongly potentiates the lipolytic effect of PTH.
