[8] Mitochondria from brown adipose tissue: Isolation and properties

摘要: Publisher Summary Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is heat producing and specialized for the oxidation of fatty acids. No enzymes characteristic mitochondria in general appear to be missing BAT mitochondria, but their relative activities are strikingly different. These have been studied gain insight into mechanism thermogenesis mitochondrial bioenergetics. The rapid proliferation connection with birth cold adaptation renders suitable studies mitochondriogenesis. occurs most neonatal mammals, certain cold-adapted adult rodents, hibernators. state its stage development vary considerably physiological experimental animal; care must exercised this respect if comparisons made between species research groups. commonly used animals rats, hamsters, guinea pigs. Mitochondrial preparations from ground squirrels, hedgehogs, young lambs, warm-adapted Syrian hamsters.
