In newborns and small tnammals, cold-induced adaptive (or nonshivering) thermogenesis is produced primarily in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Heat production is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system, but it has an absolute requirement for thyroid hormone. We used the thyroid hormone receptor-beta -selective (TR-beta -selective) ligand, GC-1, to determine by a pharmacological approach whether adaptive thermogenesis was TR isoform-specific, Hypothyroid mice were treated for 10 days with varying doses of T3 or GC-1. The level of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), the key thermogenic protein in BAT, was restored by either T3 or GC-1 treatment. However, whereas interscapular BAT in T3-treated mice showed a 3.0 degreesC elevation upon infusion of not epinephrine, indicating normal thermogenesis, the temperature did not increase (
