Glucose utilization by interscapular brown adipose tissue in vivo during nutritional transitions in the rat.

چکیده
Glucose utilization indices (GUI) of interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) declined by 84% after 48 h starvation. Two-thirds of the overall response was observed within 6 h, correlating with decreased insulin concentrations. Re-feeding 48 h-starved rats restored insulin concentrations and evoked a rapid 15-fold increase in IBAT GUI. GUI values after re-feeding were markedly higher than those observed at equivalent insulin concentrations in control post-absorptive rats.

Evidence that noradrenaline increases pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and decreases acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in rat interscapular brown adipose tissue in vivo.
The rate of fatty acid synthesis in interscapular brown adipose tissue of female cold-adapted rats, as measured by the incorporation of 3H from 3H2O into tissue lipid, was decreased by about 70% after injection of noradrenaline. There was a similar decrease in the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. In contrast, the proportion of pyruvate dehydrogenase in its active non-phosphorylated form was ...
متن کاملGlucose transporter expression and glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue during starvation and re-feeding.
Starvation (48 h) decreased the concentration of mRNA of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter isoform (GLUT 4) in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) (56%) and tibialis anterior (10%). Despite dramatic [7-fold (tibialis anterior) and 40-fold (IBAT)] increases in glucose utilization after 2 and 4 h of chow re-feeding, no significant changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration were observed ...
متن کاملStimulation of Glucose Metabolism Addition of Insulin in Vitro*
The effects of insulin added in vitro on the metabolic fates of uniformly labeled glucose-14C in slices of rat interscapular brown adipose tissue were studied. Insulin strongly stimulated glucose uptake, lactate production, oxygen consumption, total carbon dioxide production, and conversion of uniformly labeled glucose-14C into fatty acids, glyceride-glycerol, carbon dioxide, and total lipids. ...
متن کاملEphedrine-induced thermogenesis in man: no role for interscapular brown adipose tissue.
The warmest interscapular skin areas were located by thermography in six healthy subjects during ephedrine-induced thermogenesis. In these interscapular areas, and in lumbar control areas, the skin temperature, subcutaneous temperature and adipose tissue blood flow were measured before and during ephedrine-induced thermogenesis. The skin and subcutaneous temperatures increased in the interscapu...
متن کاملLipogenesis in interscapular brown adipose tissue of virgin, pregnant and lactating rats. The effects of intragastric feeding.
Lipogenesis in brown adipose tissue of virgin rats increased 8--10-fold after intragastric feeding with glucose or medium-chain triacylglycerol, and this increase was prevented by short-term insulin deficiency. Brown adipose tissue increased in weight during pregnancy, regressed during lactation and hypertrophied again on weaning; the rate of lipogenesis paralleled these changes. Glucose did no...
