✦ Synopsis
The aim of this work was to study the metabolic activity in isolated hepatocytes from control rats and rats exposed for 15 or 30 days to cold, all subjected to 24-h fasting. Hepatocyte oxygen consumption was used as an index of metabolic activity. The results show that 24-h fasting induces a decrease in energy expenditure at the level of the liver in coldexposed rats but not in control animals.
