Adipose tissue insects

S Tthesis of each indicated protein is increased by the hormone except for the two identified by 0 >r The fat body is an organ in insects tliat plays some of the same roles as liver and adipose tissue. 

In mitoehondria such as those of the parenchymal cells of the liver, cristae are relatively scarce and project only part way into the mitochondrial matrix fPalade, 1956 Fawcett, 1966). By contrast, the mitochondria of interscapular brown adipose tissue of certain mammals have many cristae which span completely the distance from one side of the mitochondrion to the other (Napolitano and Fawcett, 1958 Barnard, 1969 Barnard and Lindberg, 1969). The mitochondria of the indirect flight muscles of insects have tightly compacted cristae (Brosemer et al., 19 ). In the blowfly, for example, as many as 34 cristae are packed into 1 /tm of mitochondrial length (Gregory et al., 1967).

In this presentation, our objectives are (a) to review briefly the current concept of the physiology of the rat s fat cell (b) to review the experimental data now available on the adipose tissue of other mammalian species, of birds, and of insects (c) to attempt to...
