.... Almundarij; Diane Lorton; Colleen M. Novak ABSTRACT Non-shivering thermogenesis can promote negative energy balance and weight loss. In this study, we identified a contextual stimulus that induces rapid and robust thermogenesis in skeletal muscle. Rats exposed to the odor of a natural predator (ferret...

Costs of running decreased from 2.3 to 1.6 kJ km –1 between baseline and workload conditions. At high workloads, animals were in a negative energy balance, resulting in a sharp reduction in fat mass...

These animals may provide valuable models for understanding the regulation of energy balance. Here, we...
