Adaptive Thermogenesis: This can be defined as the regulated production of heat in response to environmental changes in temperature and diet, resulting in metabolic inefficiency. For example, shivering when we are cold uses energy and this is an example of adaptive thermogenesis. (Alexander Bowring 24 / 04 / 2008)
