Changes of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in the recovery from anesthetic hypothermia were studied by measuring the temperatures of the interscapular BAT and rectum or the tissue uptake of 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) in rats. After intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg), rectal temperature decreased to reach a steady level of approximately 33-degrees-C (steady phase) and then increased gradually (recovery phase). The temperature of the interscapular BAT was significantly higher than rectal temperature in the recovery phase. The uptake of 2-DG in vivo in BAT was low in the steady phase but increased greatly in the recovery phase. The increase in 2-DG uptake was suppressed after surgical sympathetic denervation or when rectal temperature was maintained at approximately 37.5-degrees-C. In the heart, skeletal muscle, and white adipose tissue, there was no appreciable change in 2-DG uptake except a slight increase in the heart. beta-Adrenergic blockade attenuated the changes in BAT temperature and 2-DG uptake seen during the recovery phase. It was concluded that BAT significantly contributes to heat production in recovery from anesthetic hypothermia.
