Serotonin content of the interscapular brown adipose tissue of growing rats
1991
: In brown fat of newborn rats the serotonin (5HT) content is high during the first five days of life. This may play a part in the lipid repletion of the tissue, lipids being the main fuel for nonshivering thermogenesis. Subsequently 5HT increases more in young rats reared at 16 degrees C than in those reared at 28 degrees C but to a lesser extent than norepinephrine (NE) content. A possible role of 5HT in thermoregulation of the rat during the early postnatal period is discussed.
