Should not alter clinical practice; leaves open translational relevance of rodent BAT thermogenesis to humans.
Smith et al. (1964) studied Cold acclimation. Cold acclimation was evaluated on Brown adipose tissue mass and respiratory rate. Cold acclimation in rats increases multilocular brown adipose tissue mass and respiratory rate, providing heat to the thoracocervical regions via vascular convection.
