A functional nexus between photoperiod acclimation, torpor expression and somatic fatty acid composition in a heterothermic mammal.
The seasonal changes in thermal physiology and torpor expression of many heterothermic mammals are controlled by photoperiod. As function at low body temperatures during torpor requires changes of tissue lipid composition, we tested for the first time whether and how fatty acids are affected by phot...
