Which outcome initiates waking in hibernating mammals experiencing profound hypothermia?

💡 Explanation

Increased metabolic demands from initiating arousal result from brown fat thermogenesis, because uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) generates heat, therefore warming the animal rather than alternative shivering which would be neurologically suppressed under very low temperatures requiring a large ATP expenditure from already depleted tissues.
