“ Norepinephrine clearly inhibited ketogenesis from long-chain fatty acids (stearate > palmitate > oleate), but had little effect on ketogenesis from medium-chain fatty acids (octanoate and laureate).”

“These results demonstrate that long-chain fatty acids mimic the effects of norepinephrine on leptin secretion and suggest that they may play a regulatory role as messengers between stimulation of lipolysis by norepinephrine and inhibition of leptin secretion.”

“The results demonstrate that norepinephrine diverts long-chain fatty acids into the pathways of oxidation and ketogenesis away from esterification, suggesting enhanced carnitine-dependent mitochondrial fatty acid uptake.”
