Effect of acute cold exposure on norpinephrine turnover rates in rat white adipose tissue
MAR Garofalo, IC Kettelhut, JES Roselino… - Journal of the autonomic …, 1996 - Elsevier
The present studies were carried out to assess directly sympathetic activity in white adipose
tissue in response to cold exposure. Norepinephrine (NE) content and NE turnover rates
were determined in epididymal and retroperitoneal adipose tissue from rats exposed to cold
(4° C and controls kept at ambient temperature. Parallel measurements were made in
interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT), in which activation of catecholaminergic
innervation by cold exposure is well known. Exposure to 4° C for 4 h reduced the …
