Effect of high fat diets on the thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue in cold-acclimated mice
SW Mercer, P Trayhurn - The Journal of nutrition, 1984 - Elsevier
The effects of feeding high fat diets on thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue has been
investigated in cold-acclimated mice. Two high fat diets of differing fatty acid composition
were used, one of which was based on corn oil and the other on beef tallow. After 3 weeks of
feeding the diets there was little difference in the weight, protein content and cytochrome
oxidase activity of brown adipose tissue (interscapular plus subscapular) of mice fed the
high fat diets from those given the low fat stock diet. However, the mice fed the high fat diets …
