Which effect arises from increased adenosine levels in hibernating mammal brown fat cells?

💡 Explanation

Adenosine, accumulating during torpor/hibernation, signals brown fat cells to reduce activity and oxygen consumption through cellular signaling, therefore reduces heat production by those cells; it does rather than stimulating mitochondrial activity.
