We have previously found that glyceroneogenesis is very active in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and increases in fasted, diabetic and high-protein-diet-fed rats, situations of reduced thermogenic activity. To understand better the role of glyceroneogenesis in BAT glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) generation, we investigated its activity during cold exposure (10 days at 4 degrees C), a condition in which, in contrast to the above situations, BAT thermogenesis is markedly activated. Rates of total (from all sources) BAT fatty acid (FA) synthesis and rates of incorporation of glucose carbon into BAT glyceride-FA and -glycerol in vivo were markedly increased by cold exposure.
