Abstract
Immunoreactive glucagon and insulin were highly concentrated in brown adipose tissue of the rat. Tissue contents of these hormones increased and decreased in cold- and heat-acclimated rat, respectively. These results suggest that both glucagon and insulin related closely to thermal acclimation through their metabolic actions on brown adipose tissue.Keywords
