Adaptation of EE and adipose tissue morphology and function to the changes of environmental temperature in the mouse. Sympathetic tone to adipose tissue plays an important role in this process. Most current published rodent studies are conducted at temperatures below the thermoneutral zone, while humans typically live near the thermoneutral zone. For adequate translation between species, rodent studies should be performed under thermoneutral conditions.
