Thyroid Hormone Coordination of Thermogenesis and Thermoregulation in Winter Passerines

Thyroid Hormone Coordination of Thermogenesis and Thermoregulation in Winter Passerines

Small wild birds withstanding cold temperatures have to utilize efficient and diverse methods of heat production and regulation. Thyroid hormones (THs) contribute greatly to thermogenesis and thermoregulation through key pathways in birds, and are important to understand as temperatures change and t...
