  • Title: Glycerokinase activity in brown and white adipose tissues of cold-adapted obese Zucker rats.
    Author: Bertin R, Andriamihaja M, Portet R.
    Journal: Biochimie; 1984; 66(7-8):569-72. PubMed ID: 6099149.
    Abstract:
    Glycerokinase activity was measured in the brown and white adipose tissues compared with that in the liver obese Zucker rats adapted or not adapted to cold. In white adipose tissue total activity was low but higher in the fa/fa rats than in the Fa/ones; cold adaptation did not modify this activity. In brown adipose tissue specific activity was higher than in white; specific activity was twice as high in the fa/fa rats than in the Fa/-. Cold-adaptation induced an increase in the activity in the Fa rats and a decrease in the fa/fa rats. The results are discussed with regard to the cold-induced increase in the energetic efficiency of the tissue.
