Why would small hibernating mammals increase expression of uncoupling proteins during the winter months?
Uncoupling proteins prevent free energy accumulated during electron transport to be transferred to ATP, instead it is lost as heat
Uncoupling proteins increase the number of protons being pumped into the intermembrane space, the movement of those protons back across the membrane is lost as heat
Uncoupling proteins allow them to use ATP for heat generation
