Thermogenic plants have the ability to raise their temperature above that of the surrounding air. Heat is generated in the mitochondria, as a secondary process of cellular respiration called thermogenesis. Alternative oxidase and uncoupling proteins similar to those found in mammals enable the process, which is still poorly understood.
Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms.It occurs in all warm-blooded animals, and also in a few species of thermogenic plants such as the Eastern skunk cabbage, the Voodoo lily (Sauromatum venosum), and the giant water lilies of the genus Victoria.
Thermogenin (called uncoupling protein by its discoverers and now known as uncoupling protein 1, or UCP1) [5] is a mitochondrial carrier protein found in brown adipose tissue (BAT). It is used to generate heat by non-shivering thermogenesis , and makes a quantitatively important contribution to countering heat loss in babies which would ...

Thermogenic means tending to produce heat, and the term is commonly applied to drugs which increase heat through metabolic stimulation, [1] or to microorganisms which create heat within organic waste. Approximately all enzymatic reaction in the human body is thermogenic, which gives rise to the basal metabolic rate. [2]
Lightlife Foods is a company that produces food for plant-based diets. In 2018, its worth was estimated at $80 million. [2] It is best known for its plant-based veggie dog, Smart Dog, which launched in 1993. [3] In 2019, the company launched a plant-based burger to compete with Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat.
