Thyroid calorigenesis in isolated, perfused rat liver: minor role of active sodium‐potassium transport.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The effects of ouabain on hepatic oxygen uptake, cell membrane potential, and Na-K transport were examined at 370 C during nonrecirculating perfusion of isolated livers from fasted normal rats and rats treated with triiodothyronine (T3). The perfusate was Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing albumin and bovine erythrocytes.2. Treatment with T3 increased the rate of hepatic oxygen uptake by 30 % (i.e. by 0-83 (,umole/min) per gram liver).3. After shifting to perfusate containing 2-5 mm ouabain, … Show more

“…It is notable that the turnover of some groups of cyclic reactions that expend relatively large amounts of ATP (involved in the maintenance of ionic and substrate homeostasis), e.g., Na + /K + transporters in the plasma membrane, is largely inducible by thyroid hormone [76,77]. This is particularly relevant in skeletal muscle, a large tissue in which a small change in the rate of energy expenditure can impact substantially on the total body thermogenesis.…”

“…In another intact tissue, the perfused liver, no significant metabolic cost of Na pumping could be detected (Folke & Sestoft, 1977), using oxygen uptake as an index of the over-all metabolic rate, and ouabain as a specific inhibitor of the process. On the other hand, it remains that the effects of thyroid hormones on skeletal muscle are a stimulation of active Na-K transport (Asano, 1978;present study), an increase in the number of ouabain binding sites (Lin & Akera, 1978; present study) and a somewhat selective increase in the maximum Na-K ATPase activity (Asano et al 1976).…”

“…Assim, qualquer reação que resulte em hidrólise de ATP também promove a termogênese, por dois mecanismos: calor liberado como resultado direto da hidrólise do ATP; e indiretamente, calor liberado durante a regeneração da molécula de ATP, devido à ineficiência termodinâmica mitocondrial. (17,18).…”
