ABSTRACT
Data indicate a close association between a decrease in feeding-induced brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and an increase in food consumption. The present study examines the hypothesis that feeding-induced BAT thermogenesis, or feeding-induced changes in BAT glycogen, a mobile form of energy store and a correlate of BAT thermogenesis, may modulate feeding behavior. We report that propranolol, which completely abolished meal-induced BAT thermogenesis, did not evoke intake of a larger meal. Though BAT glycogen concentration is a sensitive measure of the state of feeding, on a meal to meal basis it does not correlate with hunger and satiety. Hence the hypothesis is not supported by the current data. We also report that meal-induced BAT hypertrophy and glycogen deposition can be dissociated from meal-induced BAT thermogenesis.
