Abstract
Hibernation is a prolonged state of low metabolism that animals enter in response to extreme environmental conditions to enhance their survival in harsh environments. Recent studies have shown that non-hibernating species can also be induced to enter a hibernation-like state. 2-methyl-2-thiazoline (2MT), a potent analog of fox odor, can induce fear-related behavior in mice with low body temperature and low metabolism, and has specific organ-protective effects. A systematic understanding of 2MT-induced hibernation and its underlying mechanisms may aid in expanding its applications in medicine and other fields.
