Sympathetic activity has been assessed by measurements of noradrenaline turnover in brown adipose tissue and in the heart of golden hamsters during pregnancy and lactation. Noradrenaline turnover was not significantly altered in either tissue in pregnant or lactating hamsters, despite the atrophy of brown adipose tissue that occurs during reproduction. This suggests that sympathetic activity and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis are dissociated during pregnancy and lactation in golden hamsters. The results also indicate that the large increase in food intake lactation does not lead to a diet-induced stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. 相似文献

Brown adipose tissue properties as well as noradrenaline turnover in the tissue were determined in 15-day lactating rats and virgin controls. Brown adipose tissue thermogenic activity was reduced in lactating rats as shown by a decrease in weight, cytochrome oxidase activity and mitochondrial GDP-binding. The noradrenaline turnover rate was lower in brown adipose tissue from lactating rats. It is suggested that diminished sympathetic activity in brown adipose tissue may be a major cause of the reduced tissue thermogenic activity during lactation. 相似文献

The bilateral lobe of interscapular brown adipose tissue of the Djungarian hamster was unilaterally denervated in order to study the role of the sympathetic innervation for maintenance and cold-induced increase of non-shivering thermogenesis. Denervation decreased the noradrenaline content of brown adipose tissue to less than 9% of the intact contralateral pad. This low noradrenaline level was maintained for 1–14 days after denervation. First, to study the role of the sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue in the maintenance of the high thermogenic capacity characteristic of the cold acclimated state, brown adipose tissue was denervated in hamsters either kept at thermoneutrality or acclimated to 5°C ambient temperature for 4 weeks. Cold-acclimated hamsters had elevated levels of uncoupling protein messenger ribonucleic acid (8.1-fold) and cytochrom-c oxidase-activity (3-fold). Denervation of brown adipose tissue decreased uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid level and cytochrom-c-oxidase-activity as compared to the intact pad in thermoneutral and in cold-acclimated hamsters. However, in cold-acclimated hamsters uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid level and cytochrom-c-oxidase-activity in denervated brown adipose tissue both were maintained on an elevated 6-fold higher levels as compared to thermoneutral controls. Second, to study the role of the sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue in the cold-induced increase in thermogenic capacity, hamsters were denervated prior to cold acclimation and responses were measured after 3 and 14 days of cold exposure. Uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid level and cytochrom-c-oxidase-activity of intact brown adipose tissue increased after 14 days cold acclimation. Denervation did not completely prevent a cold-induced 1.5-fold increase of cytochrom-c-oxidase-activity and a 3.2-fold increase of the uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid level in denervated brown adipose tissue after 14 days of cold acclimation. In conclusion, high levels of uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid and cytochrom-c-oxidase activity in brown adipose tissue of cold-acclimated hamsters can partially be maintained without intact sympathetic innervation, suggesting a considerable contribution of trophic factors not requiring sympathetic innervation for maintenance. The cold-induced increase of cytochrom-c-oxidase activity and expression of uncoupling protein-messenger ribonucleic acid largely depends upon sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue.Abbreviations ANOVA

Thermogenesis and the energetics of pregnancy and lactation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
P Trayhurn 《Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology》1989,67(4):370-375
Energy balance studies suggest that the overall efficiency of energy utilization does not increase during pregnancy in rodents, other than as a consequence of "hyperphagia". Diet-induced thermogenesis is not stimulated in response to the increased energy intake of the pregnant animal, the extra intake being retained at the maximum efficiency. Biochemical studies on brown adipose tissue, the main site of adaptive thermogenesis in rodents, are consistent with the energy balance data, at least in rats and mice. However, in hamsters (golden and Djungarian) some atrophy of the tissue is evident during pregnancy. In contrast to pregnancy, the thermogenic activity (mitochondrial GDP binding) and capacity (uncoupling protein content) of brown adipose tissue are substantially reduced during lactation in rats and mice. These changes result from a fall in sympathetic activity in the tissue in lactation. Sympathetic activity and thermogenic capacity are, however, fully restored following weaning of the pups. The functional atrophy of brown adipose tissue during lactation is linked to a substantial saving in maternal energy expenditure, reducing the energy requirements for milk production. The lactating-post-lactating animal provides an excellent example of a physiologically programmed reversible atrophy of brown adipose tissue. 相似文献

The effects of fasting and refeeding on the concentration of uncoupling protein in brown adipose tissue mitochondria have been investigated in mice. Fasting mice for 48 h led to a large decrease in the total cytochrome oxidase activity of the interscapular brown fat pad. Mitochondrial GDP binding and the specific mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein also fell on fasting. After 24 h refeeding both GDP binding and the mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein were normalized, but there was no alteration in the total tissue cytochrome oxidase activity. Fasting appears to induce a selective loss of uncoupling protein from brown adipose tissue mitochondria, which is rapidly reversible on refeeding. 相似文献

1. Sympatho-adrenal (SA) and metabolic responses to fasting were studied in sham-operated (SHAM) rats and in those with interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) removed. 2. Fasting significantly increased adrenaline (A) excretion and serum free fatty acids (FFA), but decreased noradrenaline (NA) excretion and blood glucose level in SHAM rats. 3. IBAT removal did not change metabolic responses while it markedly altered the SA activity. Fasting in animals void of IBAT potentiated the activity of adrenal medulla, inhibited the FFA rise and prevented glucose reduction, which is normally observed in SHAM-fasted rats. 4. Results suggest the significance of IBAT in the regulation of the blood level of energy substrates in fasted rats and in maintaining the basal level of NA excretion. 相似文献

Fasting for 36-48 h or food restriction (30% reduction of daily food intake for 6 weeks) caused brown adipose tissue (BAT) atrophy in hamsters. Fasting-induced atrophy was characterized by reductions in tissue mass, DNA, protein, and thermogenin. By contrast, food restriction had no effect on tissue cellularity (DNA) but markedly reduced the tissue protein and thermogenin contents. The concentration of thermogenin in isolated mitochondria was unchanged by fasting or food restriction. Dystrophic hamsters had a reduced BAT mass when compared with weight-matched control hamsters. This resulted from a reduction in tissue cellularity since BAT DNA, protein and thermogenin contents were all reduced. The extent of binding of [3H]guanosine diphosphate to isolated mitochondria and their content of thermogenin were similar in normal and dystrophic hamsters. In response to cold exposure, as in normal hamsters, BAT of dystrophic hamsters grew and the tissue thermogenin increased, but the mitochondrial concentration of thermogenin did not change. In response to fasting, in contrast with normal hamsters, there was no significant reduction in BAT DNA in dystrophic animals and the loss of tissue protein was reduced. However, the relative changes in BAT composition during chronic food restriction were similar in normal and dystrophic animals. Thus, reduction in hamster BAT thermogenic capacity during food deprivation may occur by loss of cells and (or)reduction in the tissue protein and thermogenin contents. The extent of protein and (or) DNA loss may be dependent upon the original tissue mass and the severity of food deprivation. 相似文献

Summary The activity of the sympathetic nervous system in mice that were either fed ad libitum, food restricted or fasted was estimated by measuring the accumulation of dopamine following the inhibition of dopamine -hydroxylase activity. Mice in each group were injected with the dopamine -hydroxylase inhibitor 1-cyclohexyl-2-mercaptoimidazole and were exposed to either 30°C (warm) or 4°C (cold). Mice were killed 1 h after the injection. Both heart and brown adipose tissue were then quickly removed and homogenized in ice-cold perchloric acid. Dopamine and noradrenaline were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. Regardless of whether mice were warm or cold exposed, both content and concentration of brown adipose tissue and dopamine were predictably higher in 1-cyclohexyl-2-mercaptoimidazole-injected mice than in non-injected animals. In mice fed ad libitum, post-injection content and concentration of dopamine in both brown adipose tissue and heart were higher in cold-exposed mice than in warm-exposed animals. In food-restricted and fasted mice, post-injection concentrations of dopamine in brown adipose tissue were higher in cold-exposed mice than in warm-exposed animals. In food-restricted and fasted mice there was no difference between warm- and cold-exposed animals with respect to post-injection contents and concentrations of dopamine in heart tissue. In fasted mice there was no difference between warm- and cold-exposed animals in post-injection content of dopamine in brown adipose tissue. This study provides further evidence that fasting, in contrast to food restriction, may blunt the tissue sympathetic nervous system response in brown adipose tissue of cold-exposed mice.Abbreviations BAT

Effect of experimental hyperinsulinemia on sympathetic nervous system activity in the rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J B Young 《Life sciences》1988,43(2):193-200
Since insulin acutely stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, a role for sympathetic overactivity has been hypothesized to underlie the association between chronic hyperinsulinemia and hypertension. To assess the effect of sustained hyperinsulinemia on sympathetic function, [3H]norepinephrine (NE) turnover was measured in rats injected with insulin for 14d. NE turnover in insulin-treated animals given free access to lab chow and a 10% sucrose solution was compared with that obtained in rats fed chow alone or chow plus sucrose. Sucrose ingestion increased NE turnover in heart, brown adipose tissue, and liver, but exogenous insulin did not augment turnover beyond that seen in animals given sucrose alone. This study, therefore, provides no evidence that chronic hyperinsulinemia, sufficient to induce peripheral insulin resistance, stimulates sympathetic activity more than that produced by chronic sucrose ingestion. 相似文献

Selective loss of uncoupling protein from mitochondria of surgically denervated brown adipose tissue of cold-acclimated mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of unilateral surgical denervation on brown adipose tissue (BAT) composition were evaluated to assess the importance of the sympathetic innervation in the maintenance of a high concentration of the uncoupling protein thermogenin in cold-acclimated (CA) mice and to assess whether suppression of neural activity could account for BAT atrophy observed during fasting or when CA mice are returned to a thermoneutral environment (33 degrees C). Denervation-induced BAT atrophy was characterized by protein and thermogenin losses in absence of changes in the tissue cellularity (DNA content). There was a marked reduction in the concentration of thermogenin in mitochondria isolated from denervated BAT, but the concentration of the adenine nucleotide translocator was unchanged. Fasting or exposure of CA mice to 33 degrees C induced a rapid and extensive loss of tissue protein from both innervated and denervated BAT. In CA mice exposed to 33 degrees C, there was also reduction in tissue cellularity and loss of thermogenin from BAT mitochondria. Since surgical denervation suppressed BAT hyperplasia and the increase in the mitochondrial concentration of thermogenin observed during cold exposure, these results indicate that an intact innervation is required for both synthesis and maintenance of a high mitochondrial content of thermogenin in CA mice. In addition, the lesser changes in tissue composition caused by denervation compared with those caused by fasting or exposure of CA mice to 33 degrees C question the importance of the suppression of neural activity as the exclusive cause of rapid BAT atrophy in mice. 相似文献

To define the role of catecholamines (CA) in the metabolic adaptation to fasting we examined the effect of exogenous dopamine(DA) on heat production(HP) and CA content in the interscapular brown adipose tissue(IBAT) and adrenals of control-fed and 2-day fasted rats in the morning(M) and in the evening(E). DA stimulates HP in fed rats in the M by 45% but the thermogenic effect of this CA is markedly higher in the E. However, DA had no thermogenic effect in fasted rats. The tissue CA in fed rats fluctuates diurnally: in the IBAT noradrenaline(NA) was much higher in the E while adrenaline(A) in adrenals was lower. DA in fed rats did not change the adrenal A but reduced NA content both in the adrenals and in the IBAT all over the day. Fasting depleted A from adrenals but increased NA content both in the M and in the E. Unlike the adrenals in the IBAT fasting did not affect NA content. In the adrenal gland of fasted rats DA significantly increased the A content to the equal degree during the day, while this CA had no effect on NA content of the IBAT. 相似文献

To clarify effects of interleukin-1 on sympathetic nerve activity, norepinephrine turnover in various organs was assessed in rats after intraperitoneal injection of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta. Interleukin-1 administration increased norepinephrine turnover in the spleen, lung and hypothalamus without appreciable effect in the heart, liver, submandibular gland, thymus, pancreas, brown adipose tissue and medulla oblongata. Similar changes in norepinephrine turnover were also found after the administration of bacterial endotoxin. It was concluded that interleukin-1 activates the sympathetic nerves specifically in the spleen and lung. 相似文献

To clarify whether hyperinsulinemia accelerates sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity, norepinephrine (NE) turnover, a reliable indicator of SNS activity, was measured in the interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and heart of hyperinsulinemic yellow KK and normoinsulinemic C57BL control mice at 12 weeks of age. The yellow KK mice were more obese and had higher levels of plasma glucose (about 2.3 times) and of plasma insulin (about 24 times) than did the control mice. In IBAT, the rate of NE turnover following blockade of NE synthesis with alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (alpha-MPT) was significantly slower in yellow KK mice than in C57BL mice, although in heart, no significant difference between both groups was observed in NE turnover. These results suggest that hyperinsulinemia dose not always increase NE turnover, and furthermore that the reduced NE turnover in IBAT of yellow KK mice may be one of the important factors in the development of obesity of this animal, as it is recognized that brown adipose tissue is a main effector of diet-induced thermogenesis and its defect or absence would predispose to obesity. 相似文献

Sympathoadrenal activity was assessed in adult rats with obesity-producing hypothalamic knife cuts prior to and after the onset of gross obesity by measuring urinary excretion of norepinephrine and epinephrine and by determining rates of norepinephrine turnover in selected organs. Urinary excretion of norepinephrine, as an index of overall sympathetic nervous system activity, was approximately doubled throughout the 4-week study in knife-cut rats, as was intake of the high-fat diet. Three days after knife-cut surgery (before the onset of gross obesity) rates of norepinephrine turnover (ng X organ-1 X hr-1) were 23-33% lower in three of the four organs examined than in the corresponding organs of control rats; rates of norepinephrine turnover were depressed in pancreas, interscapular brown adipose tissue, and abdominal white adipose tissue and unchanged in hearts. Four weeks after surgery when gross obesity was evident, rates of norepinephrine turnover were accelerated in heart (+82%) and pancreas (+63%), but remained low in interscapular brown adipose tissue (-27%) and abdominal white adipose tissue (-28%). Adrenal medullary activity, assessed by urinary excretion of epinephrine, was suppressed within the 1st day after knife-cut surgery and remained suppressed for several weeks. Brown adipose tissue and white adipose tissue appear to be selectively excluded from the generalized activation of the sympathetic nervous system in adult hyperphagic rats with obesity-producing hypothalamic knife cuts. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system was associated with reciprocal suppression of adrenal medullary responses in knife-cut rats. 相似文献

Defective cold-induced stimulation of thyroxine 5'-deiodinase in brown adipose tissue of the genetically obese (ob/ob) mouse 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Exposure of a normal lean mouse to cold (14 degrees C) for 12 h increases the activity of thyroxine 5'-deiodinase in brown adipose tissue 26-fold. In contrast, exposure of the genetically obese, ob/ob, mouse to cold results in little more than a doubling of thyroxine 5'-deiodinase activity. The physiological significance of endogenous 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine production in brown adipose tissue is not understood. However, it seems likely that defective cold-induced stimulation of the 5'-deiodinase in brown adipose tissue of the ob/ob mouse might cause a relatively hypothyroid state of the tissue. Thyroid hormone is known to be required for a normal thermogenic response of brown adipose tissue to noradrenaline. It is suggested that the defect in the response of the 5'-deiodinase in the ob/ob mouse could contribute to the defective thermogenic response of brown adipose tissue to cold-exposure and to noradrenaline. 相似文献

Animals reared at 18 degrees C exhibit enhanced innervation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and greater cold tolerance as adults, yet gain more weight when fed an enriched diet compared with rats reared at 30 degrees C. To explore this paradox, sympathoadrenal activity was examined using techniques of [(3)H]norepinephrine ([(3)H]NE) turnover and urinary catecholamine excretion in male and female rats reared until 2 mo of age at 18 or 30 degrees C. Gene expression in BAT was also analyzed for several sympathetically related proteins. Although [(3)H]NE turnover in heart did not differ between groups, [(3)H]NE turnover in BAT was consistently elevated in the 18 degrees C-reared animals, even 2 mo after removal from the cool environment. Gene expression for uncoupling proteins 1 and 3, GLUT-4, leptin, and the alpha(1A)-adrenergic receptor was more abundant in BAT and the increase in epinephrine excretion with fasting suppressed in 18 degrees C-reared animals. These studies demonstrate that obesity consequent to exposure to 18 degrees C in early life occurs despite tonic elevation of sympathetic input to BAT. Diminished adrenal epinephrine responsiveness to fasting may play a contributory role. 相似文献

The importance of the sympathetic innervation in the regulation of 5'-deiodinase activity in the interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the Djungarian hamster was studied. Interscapular BAT of Djungarian hamsters was either unilaterally or bilaterally denervated, and thereafter the animals were maintained at thermoneutral temperature or exposed to 0 degree C for 24 h. Denervation reduced the norepinephrine content to 2-10% of the level in the control groups. Unilateral denervation was as effective as bilateral denervation in depressing the norepinephrine content of the interscapular BAT. Cold exposure for 24 h resulted in a pronounced 5'-deiodinase activation. Denervation reduced, but did not completely prevent, the cold-induced increase in 5'-deiodinase activity. The basal level of 5'-deiodinase activity at thermoneutral temperature was not reduced by denervation. We conclude that cold-induced activation of BAT 5'-deiodinase primarily depends on the intact sympathetic innervation. 相似文献

Ventromedial hypothalamic stimulation accelerates norepinephrine turnover in brown adipose tissue of rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To establish a functional link between the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), effects of electrical stimulation of the VMH and the lateral hypothalamus (LH) on norepinephrine (NE) turnover in the interscapular BAT were examined in rats. Stimulation of the VMH elicited about 3-fold increase in the rate of NE turnover in BAT, whereas stimulation of the LH had no appreciable effects. The effect of VMH stimulation was abolished after sympathetic ganglion blockade or by surgical sympathetic denervation of BAT. It was concluded that there is a sympathetic nerve-mediated connection between the VMH and BAT, and that stimulation of the VMH induces metabolic activation and heat production in BAT through an increase in sympathetic nerve activity. 相似文献

The overt activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1) increased during the last day of gestation in the foetus and after prolonged starvation in the newborn kept at 37 degrees C. Its sensitivity to inhibition by malonyl-CoA decreased during the perinatal period studied. Brown fat CPT1 increased under the same experimental conditions. However, its sensitivity to malonyl-CoA remains unchanged. Hypothermia at 24 degrees C decreased in the liver and increased in brown adipose tissue CPT1 activity in response to fasting. Glucose injection at birth decreased CPT1 activity in the liver but did not have any effect in the presence of mannoheptulose. This effect of glucose was non-significant in brown adipose tissue. 相似文献

Attenuated cold-induced increase in mRNA for uncoupling protein in brown adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The level of mRNA for uncoupling protein was measured in brown adipose tissue of young (8-10 weeks) and old (11 months) lean and ob/ob mice using a cDNA clone constructed previously. The level of poly(A)+ RNA was also measured using an oligo(dT)18 probe. Mice were kept at 28 degrees C or exposed to 14 degrees C for 12 h. The level of mRNA for uncoupling protein was normal in brown adipose tissue of younger obese mice but reduced in brown adipose tissue of old obese mice. The cold-induced absolute increase in uncoupling protein mRNA was smaller in obese mice, regardless of age. It is concluded that the known attenuation of the acute thermogenic response of brown adipose tissue of the ob/ob mouse to cold is accompanied by a similar attenuation of the initiation of the trophic response. It is likely, however, that these defects are secondary to the chronic reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity in brown adipose tissue of the ob/ob mouse, which results in a functional atrophy of the tissue. 相似文献
