Coupled mitochondria of brown adipose tissue can accumulate Ca2+ if a substrate is present. The Ca2+ is released by addition of 20 mM Na+, but not by addition of K+ or choline +. Energy-dissipating Na+-induced Ca2+ cycling occurs maximally with 20 mM Na+ and 10 microM Ca2+. In brown adipocytes, the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and the Na+ ionophore monensin increase respiration if substrate is added, and incubation in a low-Na+ buffer decreases norepinephrine-induced respiration. Thus Na+-induced Ca2+ release takes place in brown adipose tissue; released Ca2+ could have a regulatory or thermogenic role or both.
如果存在底物,棕色脂肪组织的偶联线粒体可以积累Ca2+。加入20 mM Na+可释放Ca2+,但加入K+或胆碱+则不能。在20 mM Na+和10 microM Ca2+时,能量耗散的Na+诱导的Ca2+循环达到最大值。在棕色脂肪细胞中,如果加入底物,Ca2+离子载体A23187和Na+离子载体莫能菌素会增加呼吸作用,而在低Na+缓冲液中孵育会降低去甲肾上腺素诱导的呼吸作用。因此,Na+诱导的Ca2+释放在棕色脂肪组织中发生;释放的Ca2+可能具有调节作用或产热作用,或两者兼有。
