[Phosphorylation and uncoupled respiration in the tissue of rats during the development of homoiothermy].
A marked increase in the rate of mitochondrial respiration, not coupled with ADP phosphorylation, was noted during the transformation of newborn poikilothermic animals into homoeothermic ones in the experiment on the rat tissue homogenates. Uncoupled respiration, as well as coupled one, is realized by the mitochondrial respiration chain, is observed upon oxidation of NADH, succinate, ascorbate and is expressed by a high rate of O2 consumption in the absence of added ADP. During ontogenesis, uncoupled respiration is activated to a greater extent in the heart and skeletal muscle and to a lesser extent in the liver and brown fat. The rates of phosphorylating oxidation of different substrates in tissue homogenates of animals from various age groups differ insignificantly. It is supposed that the postnatal development of homoeothermism in rats is ensured by the formation in many tissues of a system of uncoupled respiration, which takes part in heat production without preliminary ATP synthesis.
