Changes in glucagon and insulin contents of brown adipose tissue after temperature acclimation in rats.
Immunoreactive glucagon and insulin were highly concentrated in brown adipose tissue of the rat. Tissue contents of these hormones increased and decreased in cold- and heat-acclimated rat, respectively. These results suggest that both glucagon and insulin related closely to thermal acclimation through their metabolic actions on brown adipose tissue.
