Newborns and neonates cannot shiver because of immature musculature. Heat is produced by brown fat metabolism, present in the nape of the neck, and interscapular and perirenal regions. Hormone surge (cortisol, catecholamines, and thyroid) at birth activates brown fat thermogenesis, alternative to the white fat of adults. 2. Involuntary tonic or rhythmic muscle activity known as "shivering". 3. Non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) essential for newborns. Heat loss occurs in two stages: 1. The flow of heat from the center of the body to its surface. 2. The flow of heat from the body surface to the environment by conduction, convection, radiation or water evaporation. Nonshivering thermogenesis is defined as an increase in metabolic heat production (above the basal metabolism) that is not associated with muscle activity. It occurs mainly through metabolism in brown fat and to a lesser degree also in skeletal muscle, liver, brain, and white fat. Brown fat differentiates in the human fetus between 20 and 30 The hormonal regulation of human neonatal BAT thermogenesis has also been investigated and demonstrated that BMP8B (bone morphogenic protein 8b, which is a batokine, that is, a hormone produced by Currently, natural products targeting thermogenesis for treatment of obesity in the clinic have attracted public attention. How to influence thermogenesis through various signalling pathways is increasingly being studied. In regard to the natural products that induce BAT thermogenesis, capsaicin must be the first compound people considered. Understanding Thermoregulation in Newborns. For nurses to act responsibly in preventing cold stress in newborns, whether term or preterm, they must have a working knowledge of the physiology and the physics of thermodynamics involved in the body and in its reaction to environmental variables.
