Prepartum Protein Restriction Does Not After Norepinephrine-Induced Thermogenesis or Brown Adipose Tissue Function in Newborn Calves1,2,3

Gail S. Martin, Gordon E. Carstens, Travis L. Taylor, Craig R. Sweat, Alana G. Eli, David K. Lunt* and Stephen B. Smith4

ABSTRACT We examined the effect of prepartum protein restriction on thermogenesis and several aspects of perirenal (brown) adipose tissue (BAT) in newborn calves. Lipid synthesis and morphology also were compared between B...
