Studies on thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue in temperature-acclimated Macaca mulatta

Carnitine Transferases in Brown Fat of Newborn and Developing Primates

“…Our data and those o f Chaffee et ai (2) suggest that in the monkey BAT is involved in nonshivering thermogenesis. Whether the same is true for human BAT remains a moot ques tion.…”

Muscle nonshivering thermogenesis in a feral mammal

“…Our finding that muscle NST is involved in thermoregulation of juvenile wild boars and allows a near stable T b even during short-term cold exposure supports the hypothesis that muscle NST may be the primary mechanism of heat production during cold-exposure in large mammals lacking BAT 2,21 . While the evolution of BAT has often been related to the ability of small placental mammals to colonize colder habitats 4,51,52 , a recent study has shown that UCP1-inactivating mutations have occurred in at least eight of the 18 placental mammalian orders, mainly in larger-bodied species 9 , such as pigs. It therefore appears that the combination of shivering and muscle NST is sufficient for heat production in large mammals.…”
