The effect of adrenalectomy on GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of obese rats

Year: 1982

Type: article

Abstract: GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of young obese Zucker rats (fa/fa) was significantly lower than in lean control rats, as a result of a decrease in the number of binding sites. Adrenalectomy of fa/fa rats restored GDP binding to control values. Corticosterone replacement suppressed GDP binding in adrenalectomized obese rats.
