Cold acclimation of hamsters was found to result in an increase in cytochrome concentration relative to ATPase activity in brown adipose tissue mitochondria, but not in liver mitochondria. These data lend support to the hypothesis that the uncoupled respiration characteristic of non-shivering thermogenesis is the result of an adaptive change in the composition of brown adipose tissue mitochondria in response to cold acclimation.
研究发现,仓鼠经冷驯化后,棕色脂肪组织线粒体中的细胞色素浓度相对于ATP酶活性有所增加,但肝脏线粒体中并非如此。这些数据支持了以下假说:非颤抖性产热解偶联呼吸的特征是棕色脂肪组织线粒体组成因冷驯化而发生适应性变化的结果。
