Regulation of Na+ transport in brown adipose tissue.


ABSTRACT: In order to test the hypothesis that Na+, K+-ATPase (Na+,K+-dependent ATPase) is involved in the noradrenaline-mediated stimulation of respiration in brown adipose tissue, the effects of noradrenaline on Na+,K+-ATPase in isolated brown-fat-cell membrane vesicles, and on 22Na+ and K+ (86Rb+) fluxes across the membranes of intact isolated cells, were measured. The ouabain-sensitive fraction of the K+-dependent ATPase activity in the isolated membrane-vesicle preparation was small and was not affected by the presence of noradrenaline in the incubation media. The uptake of 86Rb+ into intact hormone-sensitive cells was inhibited by 80% by ouabain, but it was insensitive to the presence of noradrenaline. 22Na+ uptake and efflux measured in the intact cells were 8 times more rapid than the 86Rb+ fluxes and were unaffected by ouabain. This indicated the presence of a separate, more active, transport system for Na+ than the Na+,K+-ATPase. This is likely to be a Na+/Na+ exchange activity under normal aerobic conditions. However, under anaerobic conditions, or conditions simulating anaerobiosis (2 mM-NaCN), the unidirectional uptake of Na+ increased dramatically, while efflux was unaltered.
