The glucose uptake, net gas exchange, lactic acid production, oxygen consumption (in the presence of various carbon compounds) and free fatty acid release by rat epididymal adipose tissue in vitro have been measured in the presence of a prolactin preparation (0.2–1.0 mg/ml) alone and in combination with insulin or Adrenalin. Glucose uptake and net gas exchange are stimulated by this pituitary preparation in a manner that mimics the action of insulin. Both these processes may be stimulated further by the concomitant addition of insulin and, in the case of net gas exchange, the effect is synergistic. The prolactin preparation diminishes the production of lactic acid by the tissue and counteracts the action of insulin or Adrenalin in stimulating the formation of this metabolite. The prolactin preparation causes a slight but significant increase in oxygen consumption in the presence of glucose. More striking is the ability of the preparation to stabilize with time the burst in oxygen consumption seen upon add...
