title: Effect of corticotropin on brown adipose tissue mitochondrial GDP binding in obese rats.
abstract: Corticotropin stimulated brown adipose tissue mitochondrial GDP binding of young obese rats to the levels seen in lean rats. This effect was attenuated by chronic increases in corticosterone. The stimulatory response to corticotropin was absent from lean rats unless endogenous secretion of corticosterone was prevented.
