Norepinephrine turnover rates and tyrosine hydroxylase activities were determined in the interscapular brown fat pad of the rat during cold acclimation, hyperthyroxinism, and after thyroidectomy. Rats were cold acclimated by placement in a cold room, one rat to a cage, for a period of 6 wk. Hyperthyroxinism was induced by daily subcutaneous injections of L-thyroxine (1 mg/kg) for 6 days. Norepinephrine turnover rate and enzyme activity were determined at the end of each experimental period and at 8 wk after thyroidectomy. The rate of norepinephrine turnover increased during cold acclimation and hyperthyroxinism and decreased after thyroidectomy. Cold acclimation resulted in a significant increase in tyrosine hydroxylase activity, whereas no significant effect on enzyme activity was observed in hyperthyroxinism or after thyroidectomy. None of the conditions produced a change compared to controls in the apparent Km of tyrosine hydroxylase for L-tyrosine. Cold acclimation resulted in a significant decrease in the apparent Km of tyrosine hydroxylase for pterin cofactor, whereas thyroxine treatment and thyroidectomy had no effect.
