GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of mice treated chronically with corticosterone.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome oxidase activity and mitochondrial GDP binding were decreased in brown adipose tissue of mice treated chronically with corticosterone. These changes occurred both in corticosterone-treated mice fed ad libitum and in treated mice pair-fed to control animals. Although the dietary stimulation of brown-adipose-tissue thermogenesis was suppressed by corticosterone, the acute response to cold was not affected.

The effect of adrenalectomy on GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of obese rat.

Project description:GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of young obese Zucker rats (fa/fa) was significantly lower than in lean control rats, as a result of a decrease in the number of binding sites. Adrenalectomy of fa/fa rats restored GDP binding to control values. Corticosterone replacement suppressed GDP binding in adrenalectomized obese rats.

GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of diabetic--obese (db/db) mice. Decreased binding in both the obese and pre-obese states.

Project description:GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria from adult diabetic--obese (db/db) mice was significantly less than with lean siblings. Binding was also decreased in the mutant mice before obesity had begun to develop. Decreased GDP binding was found to result from a decrease in the number of binding sites.

Effect of corticotropin on brown adipose tissue mitochondrial GDP binding in obese rats.

Project description:Corticotropin stimulated brown adipose tissue mitochondrial GDP binding of young obese rats to the levels seen in lean rats. This effect was attenuated by chronic increases in corticosterone. The stimulatory response to corticotropin was absent from lean rats unless endogenous secretion of corticosterone was prevented.

A study of GDP binding to purified thermogenin protein from brown adipose tissue.

Project description:1. The binding of GDP to purified thermogenin protein was studied by using fluorescence spectroscopy and equilibrium dialysis. 2. GDP binding to thermogenin diminished fluorescence emission in a concentration-dependent manner that exhibited saturation. 3. Kd values for binding of nucleoside di- and tri-phosphates were lower than those for nucleoside monophosphates. 4. The GDP-induced fluorescence quenching was decreased by increasing pH, but the apparent Kd was unaltered by pH changes. 5. Equilibrium dialysis showed a Kd change from 3 to 6 microM when the pH was increased from 6.6 to 8.5. 6. The apparent pK of the fluorescence changes induced by pH (8.3) was identical with the apparent pK of the GDP-binding response. 7. The data are consistent with the existence of protonated and non-protonated forms of thermogenin protein that both bind GDP.

The influence of GDP on Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria of brown adipose tissue from lean and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice.

Project description:The specific binding capacity for purine nucleotides in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria is thought to indicate the capacity of the proton-conductance pathway which leads to uncoupled respiration. This functional relationship was investigated in studies measuring initial Ca2+-uptake rates and membrane potential in the presence or absence of GDP in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria with different GDP-binding capacities. The mitochondria from pre-obese and obese ob/ob mice were less able than those from lean control mice to dissipate membrane potential in the absence of GDP. Mitochondria from the obese animals also maintained a higher Ca2+-uptake rate without GDP in comparison with the rate found with mitochondria from the lean mice. The GDP-dependence of Ca2+ uptake was greater in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria from cold-adapted animals than in those from animals kept at 22 degrees C or at thermoneutrality (33 degrees C). It is concluded that Ca2+-uptake rate and membrane-potential values are depressed in the absence of GDP and indicate indirectly the influence of purine nucleotides on maintaining the proton electrochemical gradient in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria. It is also apparent that the lower GDP-binding capacity in mitochondria from ob/ob mice is related to a decreased ability to dissipate the proton electrochemical gradient.

Regulation of GDP binding and uncoupling-protein concentration in brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria. The effects of cold-acclimation, warm-reacclimation and noradrenaline.

Project description:We have used a specific immunoassay for uncoupling protein and [3H]GDP binding to study the acute and chronic responses of brown-adipose-tissue (BAT) mitochondria of warm-acclimated rats to housing at 4 degrees C and cold-acclimated rats to housing at 27 degrees C. These studies have shown the following. (1) In the cold-exposed rat the increase in mitochondrial uncoupling-protein concentration parallels the increase in GDP binding from 1 day to 5 days, but that acutely (initial 4 h) the increase in GDP binding is not associated with any change in uncoupling-protein concentration. 2. In the cold-acclimated rat rehoused at 27 degrees C, GDP binding fell by over 50% in the first 2 days, without any change in uncoupling-protein concentrations. 3. Noradrenaline acutely (30 min) increased BAT mitochondrial GDP binding of lean and obese Zucker rats, without any change in uncoupling-protein concentrations. 4. The increases in GDP binding in cold-exposed rats were associated with increases in the rate of swelling of mitochondria in the presence of valinomycin and potassium acetate. The evidence supports the hypothesis that the acute response of the rat to changes in environmental temperature are associated with unmasking or remasking of uncoupling protein, whereas chronically changes in uncoupling-protein concentration predominate.

Human and Mouse Brown Adipose Tissue Mitochondria Have Comparable UCP1 Function.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in mammalian thermoregulation. The component of BAT mitochondria that permits this function is the inner membrane carrier protein uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). To the best of our knowledge, no studies have directly quantified UCP1 function in human BAT. Further, whether human and rodent BAT have comparable thermogenic function remains unknown. We employed high-resolution respirometry to determine the respiratory capacity, coupling control, and, most importantly, UCP1 function of human supraclavicular BAT and rodent interscapular BAT. Human BAT was sensitive to the purine nucleotide GDP, providing the first direct evidence that human BAT mitochondria have thermogenically functional UCP1. Further, our data demonstrate that human and rodent BAT have similar UCP1 function per mitochondrion. These data indicate that human and rodent BAT are qualitatively similar in terms of UCP1 function.

Uncoupling protein 1 decreases superoxide production in brown adipose tissue mitochondria.

Project description:In thermogenic brown adipose tissue, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) catalyzes the dissipation of mitochondrial proton motive force as heat. In a cellular environment of high oxidative capacity such as brown adipose tissue (BAT), mitochondrial uncoupling could also reduce deleterious reactive oxygen species, but the specific involvement of UCP1 in this process is disputed. By comparing brown adipose tissue mitochondria of wild type mice and UCP1-ablated litter mates, we show that UCP1 potently reduces mitochondrial superoxide production after cold acclimation and during fatty acid oxidation. We address the sites of superoxide production and suggest diminished probability of "reverse electron transport" facilitated by uncoupled respiration as the underlying mechanism of reactive oxygen species suppression in BAT. Furthermore, ablation of UCP1 represses the cold-stimulated increase of substrate oxidation normally seen in active BAT, resulting in lower superoxide production, presumably avoiding deleterious oxidative damage. We conclude that UCP1 allows high oxidative capacity without promoting oxidative damage by simultaneously lowering superoxide production.

Evidence for decreased GDP binding to brown-adipose-tissue mitochondria of obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats in the very first days of life.

Project description: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.

Functional atrophy of brown adipose tissue during lactation in mice. Effects of lactation and weaning on mitochondrial GDP binding and uncoupling protein.

Project description:The thermogenic activity and capacity of brown adipose tissue were determined in mice during lactation and after weaning. There was a marked fall during lactation in the mitochondrial content of the tissue, and in GDP binding and the specific mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein. The lactation-induced functional atrophy of brown adipose tissue was fully reversible after weaning; mitochondrial content and the mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein were both restored, although GDP binding was not normalized.
