Brown adipose tissue plays thermoregulatory role within the thermoneutral zone in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)

In conclusion, BAT does not atrophy near the lower critical temperature, whereas it atrophies near the upper critical temperature, suggesting that BAT may play thermoregulatory role within the TNZ in Mongolian gerbils.
