Effect of oxygen tension on norepinephrine-induced respiration in brown adipose tissue

J Kopecký et al. Physiol Bohemoslov. 1978.

Abstract

In brown adipose tissue fragments from 10-day-old rats or adult hamsters and in cells isolated from 10-day-old rats, norepinephrine (NE) activated oxygen consumption by 300-400%. NE-induced respiration was stable for 60-120 min and was inhibited by reduction of the oxygen concentration in the medium much more than respiration induced by the addition of respiratory substrates.
