← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome increases glycogen depletion rate during prolonged avian shivering thermogenesis?
A)Simultaneous lipid metabolism reduction
B)Elevated glucagon secretion inhibition
C)Uncoupled mitochondrial respiration enhancement✓
D)Reduced peripheral vasodilation stimulus
💡 Explanation
During shivering, uncoupled mitochondrial respiration increases heat production because proton leakage across the inner mitochondrial membrane dissipates the proton gradient, forcing the mitochondria to burn more fuel to maintain ATP production. Therefore, glycogen depletion accelerates, rather than being slowed by inhibiting lipid metabolism reduction stimulation or vasodilation.
