Genes Underlying Adaptive Physiological Shifts Among Hibernating Mammals
2024-10-17
Abstract excerpt
Hibernation has evolved several times in mammals to overcome harsh winter climates and food scarcity. During hibernation, animals undergo extreme shifts in metabolic rate, heart rate, respiration, and body temperature. These changes reduce energy consumption and allow animals to survive solely on their fat reserves. Understanding the mechanisms for these extreme shifts has long been recognized as a model for trans...
