Cells and mitochondria were prepared from the brown adipose tissue of adult guinea-pigs adapted to either 4-7 degrees C or 22-25 degrees C. The cold-adapted cells displayed noradrenaline-stimulated, propranolol-sensitive respiration, but noradrenaline failed to increase the respiration of the warm-adapted cells. Purine-nucleotide-sensitive proton conductance was greater in cold-adapted mitochondria than in warm-adapted controls. At the same time cold-adapted mitochondria were extremely sensitive to the uncoupling effect of endogenous and infused fatty acids, and resembled the mitochondria from the brown adipose tissue of cold-adapted hamsters. Warm-adapted mitochondria were ninefold less sensitive, and resembled liver mitochondria. With cold-adapted, but not warm-adapted mitochondria, respiration increased proportionately to the rate of fatty acid infusion. It is concluded that the presence of the 32000-Mr proton conductance pathway is necessary for the expression of a high sensitivity to fatty acid uncoupling, suggesting that the fatty acids interact directly with this protein to modulate the proton conductance during the acute regulation of thermogenesis.
