Effect of cold exposure on energy budget and thermogenesis during lactation in Swiss mice raising large litters
Summary In Swiss mice sustained energy intake (SusEI) during peak lactation has been previously suggested to be constrained by the capacity of the mammary glands to produce milk, supporting the “peripheral limitation” hypothesis. Here we experimentally examined if SusEI in these mice was not only li...
