Abstract

V originále

The mRNA levels of ATPase beta, ATPase 6, cytochrome oxidase (COX) VIb and COX I subunits were found to be 2.4-13.8-fold higher in brown adipose tissue (BAT) than in heart, skeletal muscle, brain and liver of mice. The comparison with tissue contents of ATPase and COX revealed that the selective, 5-11-fold reduction of ATPase in BAT is not caused by decreased transcription of ATPase genes. The results indicate that the biosynthesis of mitochondrial ATPase in BAT is post-transcriptionally regulated.
