Abstract
In obese (fa/fa) rats both the total (-)-isoprenaline- and NaF-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities of interscapular brown-adipose-tissue (IBAT) plasma membranes were decreased as compared with lean rats by 40 and 38% respectively. An acute treatment with Ro 16-8714 increased (-)-isoprenaline- and NaF-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities by 2.5- and 2.0-fold respectively, and beta-adrenoceptor number 2.8-fold in obese rat IBAT, but it had no effect on these parameters in lean rats. It increased mRNA for mitochondrial uncoupling protein in both lean and obese rats to the same extent.Entities:
