Cold-exposed young birds maintain their homeothermy by stimulating mitochondrial oxidations in skeletal muscle. Prolonged cold exposure enhances muscle thermogenic capacities through mitochondrial bioenergetics plasticity which control still remains hypothetical. In mammals, fusion proteins (mitofus...
