Hibernating animals demonstrate a nadir in metabolic demand and body temperature (Tb) during torpor that is fundamental to adaptation to seasonal periods of reduced resource availability. A recent ...study shows how the brain regulates metabolic suppression during onset of torpor suggesting that central A1 adenosine receptor signaling is both necessary and sufficient to trigger decreases in metabolic rate and Tb. This leads to an interesting question of how central signals are transduced to the periphery to elicit global suppression of metabolism and this chapter discusses relevant hypotheses.
