Abstract
The rate of incorporation of glucose-1- and -6-14C, pyruvate-1- and -2-14C, acetate-2-14C, citrate-1,5-14C, and NaH14CO3 into pieces of brown and white adipose tissue of fetal, newborn, and weaned rats was studied in vitro. Data indicate that brown adipose tissue becomes less important with age while the opposite holds for white fat. Gluconeogenetic reactions (glyceride glycerol formation) are accentuated in both fats in the suckling period, but more so in white adipose tissue. Fatty acid formation is also more pronounced in white adipose tissue from suckling rats. Oxidation of substrates is greater in brown than in white adipose tissue.Keywords
