Administration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of male rats mimics the metabolic cold defence response

Conclusions: We conclude that TRH administration in the rat PVN largely mimics the metabolic and behavioral changes induced by cold exposure indicating a potential link between TRH release in the PVN and cold defense.
