Hibernating animals survive the winter months in a state of torpor. Their body temperature plummets, their heart and breathing rates drop, and their metabolism changes from primarily glucose burning to fat burning. They then live on body fat reserves, sometimes for many months at a time.
Could inducing a similar state of torpor in humans also change our metabolism from glucose burning to fat burning?
