title: Parallel increase of ascorbic acid and glutathione contents in brown adipose tissue during chronic cold exposure.
abstract: Spontaneous lipid peroxidation rate was found unchanged in the brown adipose tissue of rats chronically exposed to cold, although oxidative metabolism, ascorbic acid and poly-unsaturated phospholipid amounts increased. It is suggested that the concomitant increase in glutathione concentration may protect the tissue from a possible peroxidative process.
