Preparation of hormone-sensitive adipocytes from foetal rat brown adipose tissue.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collagenase-dispersion method involving Percoll gradient separation is described for the production of adipocytes from foetal rat brown adipose tissue. The cells produced are hormone-sensitive as judged by cAMP accumulation and lipolysis.

Differentiation of rat brown adipocytes during late foetal development: role of insulin-like growth factor I.
Rat brown adipocytes at day 22 of foetal development showed greater size, higher mitochondria content and larger amounts of lipids, as determined by flow cytometry, than 20-day foetal cells. Simultaneously, an inhibition on the percentage of brown adipocytes into S+G2/M phases of the cell cycle was observed between days 20 and 22 of foetal development. The expression of several adipogenesis-rel...
متن کاملRegulation of rat foetal lipogenesis in brown adipose tissue in vivo and in isolated brown adipocytes during the last day of, and after prolonged, gestation.
Rates of lipogenesis in foetal isolated brown adipocytes from 22-day-pregnant rats were significantly increased by lactate plus pyruvate as major substrates in the incubation medium, in comparison with the endogenous rates. Insulin stimulated foetal brown-adipocyte lipogenesis, and adrenaline or noradrenaline and isoprenaline decreased lipogenesis. Glucagon had no effect on the lipogenic rate i...
متن کاملThyrotropin receptors in brown adipose tissue: thyrotropin stimulates type II iodothyronine deiodinase and uncoupling protein-1 in brown adipocytes.
It has been demonstrated that TSH receptors are expressed not only in thyroid gland but also in extrathyroidal tissues. Brown adipose tissue of guinea pig has been reported to express TSH receptor messenger RNA (mRNA), but the physiological roles of TSH receptors in brown adipose tissue have not been understood. We studied the expression and function of TSH receptors in rat brown adipose tissue...
متن کاملEffect of adenosine deaminase, N6-phenylisopropyladenosine and hypothyroidism on the responsiveness of rat brown adipocytes to noradrenaline.
Adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml) potentiated the lipolytic action of noradrenaline in adipocytes isolated from brown adipose tissue of 1- and 6-week-old rats by decreasing the EC50 (concn. giving 50% of maximal effect) for noradrenaline by 3-4-fold. With cells from neonatal rabbit tissue, adenosine deaminase only had a small, non-significant, effect on the EC50 for noradrenaline. Lipolysis in ra...
متن کاملTaking control over intracellular fatty acid levels is essential for the analysis of thermogenic function in cultured primary brown and brite/beige adipocytes.
Thermogenesis in brown adipocytes, conferred by mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), is receiving great attention because metabolically active brown adipose tissue may protect humans from metabolic diseases. In particular, the thermogenic function of brown-like adipocytes in white adipose tissue, known as brite (or beige) adipocytes, is currently of prime interest. A valid procedure to qu...
