Mitochondria couple respiration to ATP synthesis through an electrochemical proton
gradient. Proton leak across the inner membrane allows adjustment of the coupling …

In modern eutherian (placental) mammals, brown adipose tissue (BAT) evolved as a
specialized thermogenic organ that is responsible for adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis …

Evidence for the physiological functions of UCP2 and UCP3 is critically reviewed. They do
not mediate adaptive thermogenesis, but they may be significantly thermogenic under …

Increased heat generation from biological processes is inherent to homeothermy.
Homeothermic species produce more heat from sustaining a more active metabolism as well …

The influence of seasonal changes in temperature and climate on metabolic rates in birds
has been a topic of interest to ornithologists and ecophysiologists for decades (eg, Hart …

Few environmental factors have a larger influence on animal energetics than temperature, a
fact that makes thermoregulation a very important process for survival. In general …

Energy balance in animals is a metabolic state that exists when total body energy
expenditure equals dietary energy intake. Energy expenditure, or thermogenesis, can be …

Intensive selection by poultry breeders over many generations for economically important
production traits such as growth rate and meat production has been accompanied by …
