Summary

The uptake of radioactive T3 and T4 by human adipose tissue and isolated adipocytes was investigated. It has been found that the absence of different uptake of T3 and T4 in human adipose tissue (in comparison to e.g. muscle) is not caused by interstitial connective tissue, but is the inherent feature of adipose tissue cells.

Zusammenfassung

Die Aufnahme von markierten T3 und T4 durch menschliches Fettgewebe und die isolierten Fettgewebezellen wurde untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die fehlende Fähigkeit des Fettgewebes, zwischen Aufnahme von T3 und T4 zu unterscheiden (im Gegensatz z.B. zum Muskel), nicht dem interstitiellen Bindegewebe zuzuschreiben ist, sondern in eigener Natur der Fettgewebezellen zu suchen ist.
