Which metabolic shift governs brown bear arterial constriction during hibernation?

💡 Explanation

Decreased UCP1 thermogenesis reduces heat production; consequently, vasoconstriction via vascular smooth muscle contraction minimizes heat loss because hibernation lowers the metabolic demands, therefore less arterial blood flow is necessary, rather than vasodilation or increased heat.
