The metabolic effects on rat cardiac and skeletal muscle of a strenuous program of swimming, of cold acclimation and of isoprenaline treatment (0.3 mg/kg daily for 5 five‐day weeks) were compared. Exercised and cold‐exposed rats gained less body weight than did controls or isoprenaline‐treated rats. In all treated groups the heart and the interscapular brown adipose tissue hypertrophied. The size of the adrenals increased only in isoprenaline‐treated animals. Cold‐acclimation and physical training increased and isoprenaline treatment reduced or did not affect the activities of succinate dehydrogenase, rnalate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase of cardiac muscle. In skeletal muscle all treatments resulted in increased activities of these enzymes. Of the anaerobic enzymes analysed, only the activity of hexokinase increased in response to the treatments used. This increase was the same in cardiac as in skeletal muscle, but it was significantly greater with isoprenaline‐treatment than with training or with cold‐acclimation. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase did not differ significantly. All treatments improved cold resistance, but only swimming exercise and cold acclimation significantly increased tolerance to exercise. It is concluded that prolonged stimulation of adrenergic β‐receptors by catecholamines is responsible for the metabolic changes observed.
