Abstract:The temperate climate adapted brown hare (Lepus europaeus) and the cold-adapted mountain hare (Lepus timidus) are evolutionarily closely related and interfertile. Still, their cultured skin fibroblasts show clear differences in the expression of genes related to basic cellular metabolism. To study this further, we utilized targeted metabolomics analysis, metabolite tracing, and high-resolution respirometry, and identified significant differences in metabolic pathways associated with adaptive thermogenesis, inc… Show more
