Known for over a century, mitochondria have become during the last three decades an
important subject of research within several disciplines of experimental biology. For the …

Some time ago, I wrote a review entitled ''Uncoupling of respiration and phosphorylation''for
the wx book ''Frontier of Cellular Bioenergetics''1. In that Ž. paper I hypothesized that i the …

Partitioning of ATP generation between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation is central
to cellular bioenergetics but cumbersome to measure. We describe here how rates of ATP …

Uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 is an integral membrane protein that is located in the
mitochondrial inner membrane of brown adipocytes. Its physiological role is to mediate a …

The third edition retains the highly detailed, authoritative quality of the previous editions to
present in-depth knowledge of fatty acids in food and food products and reveal diverse …

Five adrenoceptor subtypes are involved in the adrenergic regulation of white and brown fat
cell function. The effects on cAMP production and cAMP-related cellular responses are …

Cold acclimation has been shown to produce a substantial increase in the number of brown
adipocytes in the parametrial fat pad of female BALB/c mice‐a site normally thought to …

Animal and plant uncoupling protein (UCP) homologues form a subfamily of mitochondrial
carriers that are evolutionarily related and possibly derived from a proton/anion transporter …

Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are transporters that are important for
thermogenesis. The net result of their activity is the exothermic movement of protons through …

Free fatty acids, natural uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, are shown to differ from
artificial ones in that they fail to increase conductance of phospholipid bilayers which are …
