.... Almundarij; Diane Lorton; Colleen M. Novak ABSTRACT Non-shivering thermogenesis can promote negative energy balance and weight loss. In this study, we identified a contextual stimulus that induces rapid and robust thermogenesis in skeletal muscle. Rats exposed to the odor of a natural predator (ferret...

Nevertheless, it is likely that this receptor, which has retained its functional properties through evolution, may have another role (yet to be determined) that is not equivalent to the crucial function of the mammalian...

Costs of running decreased from 2.3 to 1.6 kJ km –1 between baseline and workload conditions. At high workloads, animals were in a negative energy balance, resulting in a sharp reduction in fat mass...

...E. Król; P. Redman; P. J. Thomson; R. Williams; C. Mayer; J. G. Mercer; J. R. Speakman SUMMARY Many small mammals respond to seasonal changes in photoperiod by altering body mass and adiposity. These animals may provide valuable models for understanding the regulation of energy balance. Here, we...
