Effectors of Thermogenesis
Proceedings of a Symposium held at Geneva (Switzerland) on 14 to 16 July 1977
Article
The thermogenic effect of tea is generally attributed to its caffeine content. We report here that a green tea extract stimulates brown adipose tissue thermogenesis to an extent which is much greater than can ...
Article
To investigate possible changes in autonomic regulation of heart rate as a result of acclimatization to high altitude, indexes of autonomic nervous activity were obtained non invasively by spectrum analysis of...
Article
A new real-time ergometric system, ERGORAT, for measuring the energy expenditure due to muscular activity of small mammals is described. The method is based on measuring the vibrations induced by a freely movi...
Article
The effect of brown adipose tissue (BAT) denervation on the prepontine knife cut-induced hyperthermia was studied. The knife cut has earlier been shown to induced a steady state hyperthermia of 3 to 4°C, as a ...
Article
Membrane potential and intracellular pH (pHi) were simultaneously monitored in rat perifused brown adipose tissue fragments by means of double-barrelled microelectrodes. In parallel experiments, the respirator...
Article
A comparative study, focusing on the modification of regional blood flow in adipose tissue during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, was performed on dogs and rats at room temperature (22°C) and on rats at thermone...
Article
The decrease in the metabolic capacity of rat brown adipose tissue during the late postnatal period can be reversed by cold acclimation of the animals. In order to find out whether a parallel decrease in capab...
Article
Brown adipose tissue, a well known effector of regulatory thermogenesis found in mammals, is unique in its ability to steadily increase its heat production several fold for very long periods of time. It consti...
Article
The absorption of subcutaneously injected insulin was examined by injecting semisynthetic [3H] insulin in anaesthetized pigs and subsequently analysing the tissue excised from the injection site. Contrary to prev...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Indirect calorimetry measurements showed that brown fat thermogenesis was very sensitive to modifications of intracellular pH induced by extracellular acid-base perturbations. Specific blockage of active Na-K ...

Experiments were designed to compare the effects of two hormones-vasopressin and norepinephrine-on the energetics of Na transport in frog skin. Simultaneous measurements of O2 consumption and net Na flux were per...
Article
The observation of macrophages which can act either as scavenger cells or as nurse cells leads to the conclusion that the factors responsible for the release of young erythrocytes or for the destruction of old...
Article
By preserving the intercellular or plasmatic space, perfusion fixation provides a particularly clear picture of the histological and cytological constitution of the spleen. An analysis of documents obtained wi...
Article
In einer morphophysiologischen Untersuchung wird zum Mechanismus der Erregungsleitung, insbesondere der intercellulären Erregungsleitung, am rechten Ventrikel des Rattenherzens Stellung genommen. Wenn die Toni...
