Brown Fat: Thermogenic Effect during Arousal from Hibernation in the Bat

Brown Fat: Thermogenic Effect during Arousal from Hibernation in the Bat

In the bat Eptesicus fuscus the temperature of brown fat exceeded that of other tissues by about 3° C during the late stages of arousal from hibernation. Heat production seems to be a major function of brown fat in the hibernating mammal.
