Abstract
Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, postulated as a means of heat production in the brown adipose tissue of rodents, is brought about in guinea-pigs by the cold stress at birth and by exposing weaned animals to the cold. Ability to recouple in hibernating rodents may be of evolutionary significance.
