Fat fabric and heat

In the bodies of mammals and birds there are layers of fat under the skin – some species have more than others. These layers are called adipose tissue, and are made up of cells with many mitochondria. Result: the adipose tissue (fat) is considered the main responsible for the production of heat. But let's get to the details…

Who puts the mitochondria to work and produce heat is a protein, also present in the adipose tissue. Its name: thermogenin. It causes a short circuit, or rather a chemical reaction in the mitochondria of the adipose tissue, causing them to generate a lot of energy from the nutrients in the food. This energy, however, is not stored inside the cells: it is released in the form of heat, and this heats the animals.
