title: Effect of glucose and other hexoses on efferent discharges of brown adipose tissue nerves.
abstract: The activity of sympathetic nerves innervating interscapular brown adipose tissue of the rat was recorded. Intravenous administrations of glucose (100-300 mg/kg) enhanced the nerve activity. However, mannose, fructose, or galactose (300 mg/kg) showed no effect, suggesting the response is related to diet-induced thermogenesis in the brown adipose tissue.
