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.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
