Which physiological change occurs if prolonged shivering depletes available muscle glycogen stores in mammals?

💡 Explanation

When glycogen reserves dwindle that occurs during prolonged shivering, the body shifts from glycogenolysis towards lipolysis for energy because this is the only remaining fuel source, increasing the fat oxidation. Therefore, fat oxidation increases, rather than increased kidney glucose demands, decreased muscle lactate which needs breakdown of glucose, or suppressed brown fat which wouldn't happen due to cooling requirements.
