Effect of calorie restricted diet on brown adipose tissue in mice.
Calorie restricted diet (50% food intake of control animals) for 3 weeks decelerated weight gain in laboratory mice, reduced the weight of abdominal fat, and decreased the rate of oxygen consumption by brown adipose tissue. The relative weight of interscapular brown fat and protein content in it did not differ from the control. DNA content in brown fat in mice kept on calorie restricted diet increased by 93% compared with the control.
