Huddling alleviates the decrease in glycogen and lipid content in the liver of Brandt’s vole caused by mild cold environment

ABSTRACT Low/cold ambient temperatures can induce hepatic damage in mammals, prompting the evolution of huddling as an adaptive strategy among small mammals to survive cold conditions in the wild. However, the specific mechanisms by which low/cold ambient temperatures and huddling influence the live...
