Bio
In mice, thermal conductance is higher, Tc is more variable and unstable, temperature preference is set at warmer temperatures and metabolic rate is greatly enhanced when compared to humans (24). Likewise, in humans, activation of thermoregulatory mechanisms in response to cold and heat are shifted to higher temperatures in women in relation to men (28–31). During thermal stress, hormone production is altered to adapt to the demand for energy, and it responds to the amount of body water and body temperature. The multiplicity of systems regulating energy stores and opposing the maintenance of a reduced body weight illustrate that body energy stores in general and fat stores in particular are actively "defended" by interlocking bioenergetic and neurobiological physiologies.
Animal species have developed different strategies to maintain an internal temperature which may allow an efficient function of cells and organs, despite a changing external environment (1). Increasing evidence has revealed the great impact of thermoregulation on energy homeostasis. Stay on top of latest health news from Harvard Medical School.

The MET is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate, and 1 MET denotes the amount of oxygen consumed in 1 min at rest, which is estimated at 3.5 mL/kg/min. The IPAQ was used only to select a homogenous sample of male students, and the results were presented only in terms of Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) units indicative of the participants’ PA levels. The participants’ PA levels were evaluated using the standardized and validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Lee et al., 2011).
Podstawski et al. (2013) demonstrated that a visit to the sauna can be a stressful experience for people who are rarely subjected to heat therapy. Regular sauna bathing may alleviate and prevent the risk of both acute and chronic diseases (Laukkanen et al., 2019). Each sauna session was followed by a 6-min cool-down break during which the participants were immersed in cold water (10−11°C) for 1 min. Mice overexpressing the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) antagonists agouti signaling protein (ASP) or agouti-related peptide (AgRP) 86- as well as rodents and humans with hypomorphic mutations in MC4R 87, disruptions of POMC gene expression 88, 89 or of proproneuropeptide (e.g., POMC, pro-ACTH, pro-TRH) processing by prohormone convertases 90, 91 - are obese. Thus, decreased circulating leptin concentrations as a result of reduced fat mass has the net effect of stimulating food intake 1. Leptin is an adipocyte derived molecule that circulates in weight-stable individuals in direct proportion to fat mass 79. However, after a few months on a high fat diet, these changes are no longer evident 74, 75, indicating that resistance to sustained increased adiposity is less sustained than resistance to decreased adiposity 69.
This indicates that the increased appetite and lipogenesis compensate for the increase in energy expenditure. One might even be able to induce the effects of TH selectively, activating thermogenesis, for example, without concomitantly stimulating appetite and lipogenesis, which counteract the energy dissipation caused by TH. UCP-null mice apparently do not show hypothermia at room temperature, and their sensitivity to cold was revealed by the challenge of exposing them at 5°C (11). However, the extent to which FT participates in maintaining body temperature at room temperature (about 22°C) has not been defined. As mentioned above, one can argue that the half-a-degree-lower core temperature of the α1TR-deficient mouse (16) is due to a reduced FT caused by a limiting α1TR-dependent factor in the NE signaling pathway. While the lizard will rapidly equilibrate its body temperature with the ambient, the mouse will remain homeothermic and without activating FT, since by definition is at thermoneutrality temperature.
But the most important factor for the higher threshold temperatures of thermoeffector responses in females is progesterone. In general, female mammals are smaller than males and have a larger surface-to-mass ratio, which favours heat loss. Notice, that in many human studies, data refers to the range of internal body temperature between thermoregulatory thresholds (Core interthreshold zone, CIZ), and not to the ambient temperature range, as it defines the concept of TNZ. Experiments with rodents have demonstrated a higher threshold temperature for cold-induced thermogenic response in females compared to males (27). Below the LCT, facultative heat production is activated to maintain thermal balance.
