Abstract
1. 1. Lipogenesis in brown adipose tissue and white adipose tissue (WAT) was measured in vivo in spontaneously type II diabetic male CBA/Ca mice. 2. 2. Lipogenic rates rose sharply in brown adipose tissue between the third and fourth month of life, concomitant with the onset of hyperinsulinaemia. However, lipogenic rates fell between the fourth and fifth month of age, and remained low, despite increasing circulating insulin concentrations. 3. 3. Lipogenesis in white adipose tissue showed a modest response to hyperinsulinaemia followed by increasing resistance to elevated insulin concentrations after 5 months of age. 4. 4. Studies involving either the injection of insulin or the intubation of glucose provided further evidence for the development of insulin resistance in both brown and white adipose tissue.
