Adaptive thermogenesis enhances the life-threatening response to heat in mice with an Ryr1 mutation

Individuals with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) suffer from lifethreatening responses to heat. Here the authors demonstrate that adaptive thermogenesis from brown adipose tissue contributes to this heat sensitivity in a preclinical mouse model of MHS
