Abstract
⺠Leanness of Lou/C rats does not require thermogenic processes in BAT. ⺠BAT is not deficient in Lou/C rats as it can be stimulated by prolonged cold exposure. ⺠High spontaneous locomotor activity could partly explain leanness of this strain. ⺠Substitution between thermogenic processes by BAT and locomotor activity could appear at 4 °C.
