The rate of mitochondrial state III and state IV respiration and the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) in BAT (A, B and C) and liver (D, E and F) in striped hamsters subjected to food restriction then refed ad libitum. During ad libitum refeeding period, animals were maintained at 23 °C (CON), intermittently exposed to 5 °C for 2 h per day (ICE-2 h/d), 12 h per day (ICE-12 h/d), or persistently exposed to 5 °C (PCE). ns = non-significant difference between the two groups; * = significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05), ** = P < 0.01
