Brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein content in human infants, children and adults
Abstract
1. A solid-phase radioimmunoassay is described for the estimation of the uncoupling protein content of human brown adipose tissue mitochondria, as an index of thermogenic capacity. 2. The concentration of inner mitochondrial membrane uncoupling protein was measured in brown adipose tissue samples from 48 individuals who died suddenly. 3. The uncoupling protein content of axillary adipose tissue was greater than that of perirenal adipose tissue. 4. Variations in brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein content, which would be consistent with changing thermogenic requirements and capacity, were observed in different groups of subjects. Significantly lower concentrations were found in adults and in pre-term and stillborn infants than in older infants and children.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
