Abstract
Administration of growth hormone to animals has been found to reduce fat stores (1, 2), to increase liver fat (3,4) and to cause ketosis (5) and a de- pression of respiratory quotient (6, 7).The in- crease in mobilization and metabolism of fat im- plied by these findings has been thought to con- tribute either in an auxiliary or in an essential way to the anabolic stimulus induced by growth hor- mone.

It is suggested that the term "free" be reserved to describe the fraction of unesterified fatty acid not bound to protein, a fraction which is not measurable by present techniques, but which may later prove to be of biochemical significance.

The data reported in the present publication were obtained by a procedure which has the advantage of high specificity, although it is appreciably more laborious than the method of Dole.

A parallelism appears to exist between the deposition of proteins in the tissues under the influence of anterior pituitary growth hormone and the catabolism of fat, and as a corollary, an increment in weight can only be achieved while there is labile neutral fat which can be oxidized for energy purposes.

Purified corticotropin prepared from hog anterior pituitary by the glacial acetic acid-oxycellulose method was found to be potent in adipokinin, appearing to be a principle distinct from the gonadotropins, thyrotropin, corticotropicin, growth hormone, and intermedin.

Fatty livers produced in rats by fasting, by diets rich in fat, cholesterol feeding, phosphorus poisoning, and by diets deficient in choline and in other " lipotropic " factors have been recently studied in laboratories, but the rate of accumulation of fat in the liver when large doses of the anterior pituitary extract are given is greater than that caused by any of these other procedures.

Extraction of acetone-dried hog anterior pituitary glands with glacial acetic acid at 70 °C and removal of corticotropin with oxycellulose provides a method for the preparation of cortingotropin and growth hormone in a single procedure.
