thermoregulation is the brain&rsquo;s regulation of body temperature to respond to heat, cold events.
Studies indicate that cold exposure cold exposure can activate AgRP (stimulate food intake) as a means for the brain leveraging CNS regulation to which would lower the glucose level and maintain glucose homeostatis.
However, cold exposure also trigger energy expenditure, and seems contradictory but not really why?.
