Adipose tissue in human infancy and childhood : an evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: Well-fed infants acquire peak fat reserves by an age of peak prevalence of malnutrition, infectious disease, and fat reserve depletion in less-buffered contexts, and childhood--characterized by minimal investment in the tissue--is a stage of reduced risk of energy stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic rates of seals and whales
TL;DR: A critical review of metabolic rate determinations for pinnipeds and cetaceans does not support the widely accepted generalization that they have higher metabolic rates than terrestrial mammals of similar size, forcing a rethinking of the thermoregulatory adaptations of these marine mammals for an aquatic existence.

Maternal investment and neonatal growth in phocid seals
Kit M. Kovacs,D. M. Lavigne +1 more
TL;DR: Although data are limited, it appears that maternal investment differs between the sexes in all species which are sexually dimorphic with respect to body size.

Temperature Regulation in Humans and Other Mammals
TL;DR: In this paper, the inner body as a source of temperature signals and the Neuronal Basis of Temperature Reception are discussed. And the central interface between Afferent Temperature Signals and Efferent Drives is described.

Thermoregulatory Phenotype of the Trpv1 Knockout Mouse: Thermoeffector Dysbalance with Hyperkinesis
András Garami,Eszter Pakai,Daniela L. Oliveira,Alexandre A. Steiner,Samuel Penna Wanner,M. Camila Almeida,Vladimir A. Lesnikov,Narender R. Gavva,Andrej A. Romanovsky +8 more
TL;DR: Trpv1 knockout mice possess a distinct thermoregulatory phenotype, which is coupled with a predisposition to age-associated overweight and includes hypometabolism, enhanced skin vasoconstriction, decreased thermopreferendum, and hyperkinesis.
