Abstract

Effect of cold acclimation on gangliosides as well as triglyceride and glycogen in brown adipose tissue was studied in rats. Ganglioside GM3 level per unit fresh weight and per unit fat-free-dry-matter was significantly higher in cold-acclimated rats (CA) than in warm controls, while the tissue triglyceride and glycogen levels were lower in CA. GM3 may be involved in cold-induced proliferation and differentiation of brown adipose tissue.
