PG - 597-602 AB - 1. The effects of diet and norepinephrine (NE) on resting metabolic rate (RMR) were determined using indirect calorimetry in 6-month-old lean and corpulent LA/N-cp rats. RMRs of lean rats were greater than the corpulent. 2. Ingestion of carbohydrate (CHO) in the unfasted and fasted states increased the RMR of both groups, especially in the lean phenotype when compared to oil. 3. Serum T3 and glucose concentrations were similar in both phenotypes. 4. The effects of NE on RMR were maximal after a 200 micrograms NE/kg body weight injections.
