Stimulating lipolysis in subcutaneous adipose tissues by chronic dexamethasone administration in goats

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic stress induced by a low dosage of dexamethasone (Dex) on the lipolytic response in adipose tissue of goats. Ten male goats were randomly assigned to two groups; one group was injected subcutaneously with 0.2 mg/kg Dex, and the other group was injected subcutaneously with the same volume of saline as a control (Con) for 21 days. The result revealed that plasma triglycerides...
