The Torpid State: Recent Advances in Metabolic Adaptations and Protective Mechanisms†
Torpor and hibernation are powerful strategies enabling animals to survive periods of low resource availability. The state of torpor results from an active and drastic reduction of an individual’s metabolic rate (MR) associated with a relatively pronounced decrease in body temperature. To date, seve...
