Chronic protein restriction does not alter energetic efficiency or brown adipose tissue thermogenic capacity in genetically obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats
SE Specter, JS Hamilton, JS Stern, BA Horwitz - The Journal of nutrition, 1995 - Elsevier
Attenuated regulatory thermogenesis in genetically obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats involves an
impaired capacity to increase sympathetic drive to brown adipose tissue in response to
dietary stimuli. Young, growing lean rats fed a low protein diet reduce energetic efficiency to
compensate for elevated energy intake; however, it is not known if obese rats adapt similarly
to chronic protein restriction by decreasing energetic efficiency and whether this would be
accompanied by increased brown adipose tissue thermogenic capacity. Lean (Fa/Fa) and …
