Abstract

Foetal brown adipocyte primary cultures undergo proliferation in the presence of

IGF-I and al so induce the adipogenic-program related to lipid synthesis and the thermogenicprogram

associated with the expression of the uncoupling protein. Moreover, we have

recently described an endogenous expression of IGF-I mRNA in brown adipose tissue

at day 20 of foetal development and also an increase in the IGF-I receptor mRNA

content at the end of the foetal !ife, which runs parallel to the onset of late tissue

differentiation. Thus, IGF-I, in an autocrine/paracrine fashion may be a major signal

involved in brown adipose tissue development prior to birth.
