Sympathetic Nervous System in the Regulation of Thermogenesis

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Sympathetic nervous regulation of thermogenesis has become a vast topic over the last 10 years, thus the present discussion will be restricted essentially to the possible implication of the sympathetic nervous system in the thermic response to nutrient administration in humans.
