Hormonal Thermogenesis of “Non-Norepinephrine” Type

  • Conference paper
Effectors of Thermogenesis

Part of the book series: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 32))

Abstract

Physiological significance and mechanisms controlling thermogenesis due to substances other than norepinephrine (NE) are considered. Epinephrine (E) induces a strong calorigenic effect, which is potentiated by cold adaptation to the level observed after application of NE. Thermogenesis due to E is located to a great extent in visceral organs. Cold acclimation increases the component of epinephrine thermogenesis located in the brown adipose tissue and non-visceral organs, predominantly. Although E and NE act on the same thermogenic effector, their effect is realized via different regulatory sites.
