Which result occurs when an endothermic mammal minimizes subcutaneous fat before overwinter?

💡 Explanation

Reliance on non-shivering thermogenesis increases because the mechanism of insulation is diminished; therefore, to generate heat without fat to insulate, brown fat activity increases rather than the mammal being able to reduce metabolic rate or increase insulation that it doesn't have.
