Abstract excerpt
The FOK rat was established as an inbred strain with genotypic adaptation to a hot environment. To investigate the mechanism of the heat resistance of FOK rats, heat production by isolated brown adipocytes in FOK and WKAH rats was measured at 37.0 and 39.9 degrees C. Basal heat production by brow...
