Does sympathetic nervous system stimulation or blockade alter circulating free fatty acid levels in humans and dogs?
The sympathetic nervous system exerts a tonic action on the mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue, which can be modulated by central stimuli and hormonal factors.
Havel et al. (1959) studied this question.
