The respiratory (thermogenic) response of brown fat cells was investigated for differentiation between .alpha.- and .beta.-adrenergic components. The relative sensitivity of the cells generally followed the pattern of the EC50 [median effective concentration] for isoprenaline < norepinephrine = epinephrine .mchlt. phenylephrine and the response to all these agonists was much more sensitive to propranolol than to phentolamine. Based on these criteria the response was primarily .beta.1. The biphasic nature of the dose-response curves and the antagonist inhibition curves indicated additionally the presence of an .alpha.-component. Inhibition studies demonstrated the IC50 [median inhibitory concentration] series: prazosin < phentolamine < yohimbine, indicating that the .alpha.-component is of the .alpha.1-subtype. The effects of selective .alpha.- and .beta.-stimulation were additive. The maximal oxygen consumption of isolated hamster brown fat cells was composed of an 80% .beta.1 adrenergic component and a 20% .alpha.1 adrenergic component. Different mechanisms (.beta.1 through cAMP and .alpha.1 possibly through Ca2+) and perhaps different purposes (e.g. short-term and long-term regulation, respectively) may explain the coexistence of 2 stimulatory adrenergic responses in 1 cell type.
