Abstract

1. White adipocytes were found to be more responsive than brown adipocytes to inhibition of lipolysis by the A1 adenosine receptor agonist phenylisopropyladenosine. 2. Radioligand binding studies with plasma membranes isolated from the two adipocyte types indicated differences in the properties of the A1 receptors. Kd values (high and low affinity) for phenylisopropyladenosine were higher in membranes from brown adipocytes. The Kd values for the antagonist dipropylcyclopentylxanthine were also higher in brown adipocyte membranes. 3. The effects of guanine nucleotides in converting adipocyte A1 receptors into a low-affinity state were enhanced by dithiothreitol.
