Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of E. coli endotoxin 0127 B8 on oxygen consumption, temperature, and on the activity of the proton conductance pathway in brown adipose tissue (BAT) were investigated in rats and mice. In rats an increase was observed in rectal and skin temperature, whole body oxygen consumption and GDP binding in BAT. In mice only the rise in rectal and skin temperature were significantly changed by endotoxin administration. These findings suggest that in some species BAT is involved in the production of endotoxin induced fever and increased energy expenditure.
