homeostasis/metabolism
|
• mice exposed to a cold environment for 8 hours exhibit a higher core body temperature than wild-type mice, indicating enhanced adaptive thermogenesis
|
|
• mice exhibit higher body temperature
• however food intake, locomotor activity, respiratory exchange ratio and body weight are normal
|
|
• mice show higher carbon dioxide production at 15 weeks and 8 months of age
• mice show a greater increase in carbon dioxide production in response to treadmill-based exercise than wild-type mice
|
|
• mice show increased oxygen consumption at 15 weeks and 8 months of age
• mice show a greater increase in oxygen consumption in response to treadmill-based exercise than wild-type mice
