title: Brown adipose tissue activity in hypophysectomized rats: involvement of sympathetic system.
abstract: At thermal neutrality, hypophysectomy enhanced interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) activity (increase of purine nucleotide binding) in the rat. This stimulation is dependent on sympathetic system integrity since surgical denervation of IBAT impairs its thermogenic response.
