Hibernation induces widespread transcriptional remodeling in metabolic tissues of the grizzly bear
13 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Revealing the mechanisms underlying the reversible physiology of hibernation could have applications to both human and animal health as hibernation is often associated with disease-like states. The present study uses RNA-sequencing to reveal the tissue and seasonal transcriptional changes occurring in grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis). Comparing hibernation to other seasons, bear adipose has a...
