The effect of pinealectomy on non-shivering thermogenesis and hibernation of the wyoming ground squirrel, Spermophilus elegans

1. 1.|Pineal gland removal (PX) performed on Wyoming ground squirrels ( Spermophilus elegans) during the summer significantly lowered their non-shivering thermogenic (NST) response and impaired their ability to hibernate the subsequent winter. 2. 2.|This impairment was not observed in previous studi...
