Food Intake During Cold Exposure: Effects of the Quantity of Food Ingested on Shivering and Nonshivering Thermogenesis

Humans are known as homeothermic endotherms. To ensure thermic balance at rest when exposed to cold, they dispose of two main thermogenic processes: shivering thermogenesis (ST) and non-shivering thermogenesis (NST). ST consists of involuntary muscle contractions and NST represents the component of...
