The functional balance between brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) is important for metabolic homeostasis. We compared the effects of fasting on the gene expression profiles in BAT, WAT and liver by using a DNA microarray analysis. Tissues were obtained from rats that had been fed or fasted for 24 h. Taking the false discovery rate into account, we extracted the top 1,000 genes that had been differentially expressed between the fed and fasted rats. In all three tissues, a Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the lipid and protein biosynthesis-related genes had been markedly down-regulated. The whole-body fuel shift from glucose to triacylglycerol and the induction of autophagy were also observed. There was marked up-regulation of genes in the ‘protein ubiquitination’ category particularly in BAT of the fasted rats, suggesting that the ubiquitin-proteasome system was involved in saving energy as an adaptation to food shortage.
