Beyond Thermoregulation: Metabolic Function of Cetacean Blubber in Migrating Bowhead and Beluga Whales

The processes of lipid deposition and utilization, via the gene leptin (Lep), are poorly understood in taxa with varying degrees of adipose storage. This study examines how these systems may have adapted in marine aquatic environments inhabited by cetaceans. Bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and beluga w...
