Overexpressing a protein involved in the uptake of fat in muscle of mice can improve their tolerance to cold temperatures, researchers find in a new study that showcases the over-looked role muscle may play in the cold response.
When temperatures drop, mammals respond by generating heat (thermogenesis), through>
