Hormonal basis of seasonal metabolic changes in mammalian species

Seasonal changes in external conditions (photoperiod, meteorological conditions, diet) cause adaptive changes in both energy and substrate metabolism in the animals of mammalian species. In summer, long days and a rich diet contribute to relative elevation in the levels of thyroid hormones (TH), but...

Summary:Seasonal changes in external conditions (photoperiod, meteorological conditions, diet) cause adaptive changes in both energy and substrate metabolism in the animals of mammalian species. In summer, long days and a rich diet contribute to relative elevation in the levels of thyroid hormones (TH), but warmer weather lowers their levels. In winter, short days and a poor diet inhibit TH synthesis, but low temperatures increase their secretion. In addition, the results of our meta-analyses revealed a significant role of atmospheric pressure in circannual fluctuations of metabolic parameters in humans. The changes in photoperiod are generally viewed as a major factor contributing to seasonal rhythm regulation However, numerous data show that season-dependent metabolic changes in mammals could be also accounted for by meteorological factors and diet.
