Thermogenesis in normal rabbits and rats: no role for brown adipose tissue?

J M Brockway and G E Lobley

1. The occurrence of dietary and cold-induced thermogenesis in young rabbits was unaffected by noradrenaline or propranolol, and it is concluded that the brown adipose tissue, although detectable histologically, is non-functional. 2. Noradrenaline treatment caused an increase in oxygen consumption in albino, but not in hooded rats, suggesting that the former breed may possess brown adipose tissue capable of thermogenesis.
