All of the following are true about 'non-shivering thermogenesis' EXCEPT?
Non-shivering thermogenesis' is due to the presence of brown fat. Release of norepinephrine uncouples beta oxidation in fat resulting in heat production Brown fat is located around great vessels, kidneys, adrenals, axilla, nape of neck, & between scapulae. Brown fat have sympathetic innervation
It is due to the presence of brown fat
