Górski, J., Górska, M. and Hryniewicz, A.: Effect of cold exposure on the concentration of triglyceride in the liver of the rat. Acta physiol, pol., 1980, 39 (2): 136-142. The aim of the present study was to examine an effect of cold exposure on the concentration of triglycerides (TG) in the rat's liver. The rats were divided into the following groups: control, fed with oil, treated with hydrocortisone, fed with oil and treated with hydrocortisone, treated with noradrenaline. The rats exposed to cold were kept in wire cages (one rat in one cage) in the cold room at temperature +2°C. They had free access to food (pellet diet for rodents) and water. In the control group the exposure to cold increased mildly (though significantly) the TG concentration after 1 and 3 h and had no effect after 2 and 24 h. It did not affect the concentration of plasma free fatty acids (FFA). At room temperature feeding with oil (2 ml/100 g of body weight) alone, and combined with hydrocortisone treatment (5 mg/100 g of body weight) as well as treatment with noradrenaline (0.1 mg/100 g of body weight) had no effect on the liver TG concentration, although the concentration of plasma FFA was increased. Exposure to cold for 3 h increased markedly the liver TG concentration in each of those groups. It is concluded that exposure to cold elicits a mechanism, which in the presence of elevated plasma FFA concentration induces accumulation of TG in the liver.
