Brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes to non-shivering thermogenesis and plays an important role in body temperature control. The contribution of BAT thermogenesis to body temperature control in a non-cold environment was evaluated using developing hamsters. Immunostaining for uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a mitochondrial protein responsible for BAT thermogenesis, indicated that interscapular fat tissue had matured as BAT at day 14. When pups were placed on a thermal plate kept at 23°C, the body surface temperature decreased in day 7- and 10-day-old pups but was maintained at least for 15 min in 14-day-old pups, indicating that hamsters are unable to maintain their body temperature until around day 14 even in a non-cold environment. Body temperature maintenance was also evaluated in UCP1-deficient mice. BAT analysis showed that the UCP1 protein level in Ucp1+/− Hetero mice was 61.3 ± 1.4% of that in wild-type (WT) mice and was undetected in Ucp1−/− knockout (KO) mice. When 12-day-old pups were place on a thermal plate at 23°C, body surface temperature was maintained for at least 15 min in WT and Hetero mice but gradually dropped by 2.4 ± 0.2°C in 15 min in KO mice. It is concluded that BAT thermogenesis is indispensable for body temperature maintenance in pups of hamsters and mice, even in the non-cold circumstances. The early life poikilothermy and the later acquirement of homeothermy in hamsters may be because of the postnatal development of BAT.
