Evidence for decreased GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats in the very first days of life.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of obese Zucker-rat (fa/fa) pups aged 2-14 days was significantly less than in lean control rats. Scatchard analysis in 10-day-old pups suggests that there was a large decrease in GDP-binding sites. However, a significant increase in fat content in brown adipose tissue of 2-day-old pre-obese pups raised the question of the sequential order and causal relationship between these two derangements.
