As endotherms, humans exposed to a compensable cold environment rely on an increase in thermogenic rate to counteract heat lost to the environment, thereby maintaining a stable core temperature. This review focuses primarily on the most important contributor of heat production in cold-exposed adult humans, shivering skeletal muscles. Specifically, it presents current understanding on (1) the origins of shivering, (2) the contribution of shivering to total heat production and (3) the metabolic requirements of shivering. | |||

Cold-induced shivering for metabolic health
by Rodrigo Fernández-Verdejo & Jose E. Galgani 12/06/2024 Nature Metabolism
This proof-of-concept study shows that 1 hour of cold exposure with shivering for 10 consecutive days improves glucose tolerance and other metabolic health outcomes in humans with overweight or obesity.
TIL Fifteen minutes of shivering from cold temperatures can be the metabolic equivalent of 1 hour of exercise.

Can Shivering Help Burn Fat?
by The Health Sciences Academy
White adipose tissue stores energy. It is the type of fat that one can see. It also pads our internal organs acting as a thermal insulator and cushion.
Don't curse the cold: Shivering may help burn body fat
Shivering's weight-loss upside is linked to a hormone produced by the body's muscles, according to research from the National Institutes of Health published in the journal Cell Metabolism. When a body trembles from the cold it releases irisin, also known as the "exercise hormone," which stimulates fat tissue to produce heat so the body can maintain its core temperature.
