Termogenezi
Termogenezi is the process by which living organisms produce heat. This heat generation is crucial for maintaining body temperature, especially in endotherms like mammals and birds, which are capable of regulating their internal temperature independently of the external environment. There are two primary types of thermogenesis: regulated and non-regulated.
Non-regulated thermogenesis is a byproduct of normal metabolic processes. Any chemical reaction that releases energy, such
Regulated thermogenesis, on the other hand, is a process actively controlled by the organism to increase heat
The balance between heat production and heat loss is vital for thermoregulation. When environmental temperatures drop,
