Which physiological effect reduces core body temperature when prolonged shivering thermogenesis exhausts glycogen stores in muscles?

A)Increased brown fat metabolism
B)Decreased peripheral vasoconstriction
C)Suppressed non-shivering thermogenesis
D)Enhanced muscular lactic acid production

💡 Explanation

When glycogen stores are depleted by shivering, non-shivering thermogenesis is suppressed because the body prioritizes energy conservation over heat production, leading to lower core temperature. Therefore suppressed NST results, rather than increased BAT metabolism, decreased vasoconstriction or lactic acid production which all occur during active heat generation or exertion processes.
