#ExpertAnswers: Marc Reitman and Oksana Gavrilova on Thermal Physiology
Airdate: Thursday, February 3, 2022 Season: 9 Episode: 1
Guests: Marc Reitman, Oksana Gavrilova
This episode of #ExpertAnswers features Dr. Marc Reitman and Dr. Oksana Gavrilova. Marc is the Chief of the Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Obesity Branch at the National Health Institute, and Oksana is the Mouse Metabolism Core Director at the National Health Institute. They are here to discuss what thermoneutrality means in the mouse and the concept of the thermoneutral point. They also explore the effects of cold, hot, and near-thermoneutral environments on mouse energy expenditure, body temperature, and behavior.
