Noradrenaline-induced changes in rat brown adipose tissue glucagon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) glucagon level was higher in cold-acclimated rats (CA) than in warm controls (WC). Noradrenaline (NA) injection increased BAT glucagon levels in both WC and CA with increases in plasma glucagon levels. The magnitude of increase was significantly greater in CA for plasma glucagon, while it did not differ for BAT between groups. However, BAT glucagon was kept at a higher level in CA after NA injection than in WC.

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 کاملRegulation of rat foetal lipogenesis in brown adipose tissue in vivo and in isolated brown adipocytes during the last day of, and after prolonged, gestation.
Rates of lipogenesis in foetal isolated brown adipocytes from 22-day-pregnant rats were significantly increased by lactate plus pyruvate as major substrates in the incubation medium, in comparison with the endogenous rates. Insulin stimulated foetal brown-adipocyte lipogenesis, and adrenaline or noradrenaline and isoprenaline decreased lipogenesis. Glucagon had no effect on the lipogenic rate i...
متن کاملEffect of adenosine deaminase, N6-phenylisopropyladenosine and hypothyroidism on the responsiveness of rat brown adipocytes to noradrenaline.
Adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml) potentiated the lipolytic action of noradrenaline in adipocytes isolated from brown adipose tissue of 1- and 6-week-old rats by decreasing the EC50 (concn. giving 50% of maximal effect) for noradrenaline by 3-4-fold. With cells from neonatal rabbit tissue, adenosine deaminase only had a small, non-significant, effect on the EC50 for noradrenaline. Lipolysis in ra...
