| Abstract: | Heat-acclimated rats show lighter IBAT deposit with different gross composition and lower GDP-binding than controls at thermoneutrality. A thermal disactivation of the tissue is then inferred. Cafeteria regime increased IBAT mass and GDP-binding when offered to rats at a thermoneutral ambient temperature. These results indicate that BAT thermogenesis at thermoneutrality is not the lowest one of the tissue and that diet-induced thermogenesis can take place even at thermoneutrality. |
