Which physiological response decreases upon prolonged deep hibernation?

💡 Explanation

Mitochondrial uncoupling decreases in deep hibernation because metabolic rate dramatically slows using torpor, thereby reducing heat produced within brown fat tissue rather than increasing thermogenesis; therefore less non-shivering thermogenesis occurs, rather than fibrillation risk or fat activation.
