Brown Fat: Thermogenic Effector of Arousal in Hibernators
Abstract
Earlier indications that brown fat has a thermogenic role in rats exposed to cold suggested that certain comparable functions in hibernating marmots be investigated. From the results it appears that arousal of the animal by cold is induced by sympathetically activated thermogenesis in areas of brown fat so located, relative to the vasculature, that heat is transferred to the thoracic structures and cervical spinal regions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
