Bone Density and Genomic Analysis Unfold Cold Adaptation Mechanisms of Extinct Inhabitants of Tierra Del Fuego

2021-05-17

Abstract excerpt

The Fuegians, extinct inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego, were an exemplary case of a cold-adapted population capable of living in extreme weather conditions without any adequate clothing, however the mechanisms of their extraordinary resistance to cold remain enigmatic. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a crucial role in this kind of adaptation besides having a protective role on the detrimental effect of low tempera...
