Abstract

The preparation of two highly purified lipolytically active hog pituitary peptides, called P-LF II C and P-LF II D is described. The two peptides are free of other pituitary hormone activities. In isolated rat and porcine adipose tissue, both fractions are lipolytically much more active than every other lipolytic active pituitary peptide described to date. By fraction P-LF II D, the first pituitary peptide was isolated which has higher lipolytic activity in isolated rat adipose tissue than corticotropin, the lipolytically most active pituitary hormone known so far. On isolated porcine adipose tissue, fraction P-LF II D as well as P-LF II C showed without doubt higher activity than corticotropin.
