Cold exposure induces transcription in brown adipose tissue of goats

A total of 10 males were selected and randomized into room temperature (n = 5) and cold exposure groups (n = 5). After birth, the newborn goats were wiped and fed colostrumin a 25 celsius degree environment for 2 h. Then, kids from the room temperature group (RT) were kept at 25 celsius degree and cold exposure (Cold) groups were placed into a cold room (6 celsius degree) for 24 h. Warmed colostrum was fed three times at 8, 14, and 20 h of ages. After 24 h, all goats were sacrificed by arterial bleeding under full anesthesia. Perirenal adipose tissues were sampled.
