Abstract
GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria was decreased in obese Zucker rats. Adrenalectomy restored both GDP binding and serum tri-iodothyronine of obese rats to values observed in lean rats. The effects of adrenalectomy on GDP binding and serum tri-iodothyronine were reversed by corticosterone. Decreasing food intake had no effect on brown-adipose-tissue GDP binding in obese rats. Young (5-week-old) obese rats showed a normal increase in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondrial GDP binding after housing at 4 degrees C for 7 days, but this response was attenuated in 10-week-old obese rats. Overfeeding with sucrose increased brown-adipose-tissue thermogenesis in lean, but not in obese, rats. After adrenalectomy, overfeeding with sucrose enhanced brown-adipose-tissue mitochondrial GDP binding in obese rats.Entities:
