Hibernation induction trigger (HIT) proteins isolated from mammals have been used in the study of organ recovery rates. One study in 1997 found that delta 2 opioid and hibernation induction trigger (HIT) proteins were not able to increase the recovery rate of heart tissue during ischemia. While unable to increase recovery rates at the time of ...
A fecal plug (sometimes referred to as a tappen) is a significant biological phenomenon observed in bears and other animals during hibernation.It is a dense mass of hardened feces that forms in the colon due to having remained in the intestine so long that the intestinal walls have absorbed the fluids out of it, leaving it dry and hard.

Bears entering torpor in a simulated den with no light expressed normal but low functioning rhythms. The same was observed in wild bears denning in natural areas. The function of circadian rhythms in black, brown , and polar bears suggest that their system of torpor is evolutionarily advanced.
Bears normally stock up on food then hibernate in their dens during the coldest winter months. Bear hibernation is “strongly tied” to weather patterns and food availability, according to a ...

A grizzly bear at Maryland Zoo was captured on CCTV struggling to stay awake as hibernation season approaches. During their long winter sleep, the body temperature of a bear dips to about 30-35C ...
The male grizzly bear's hibernation ends in early to mid-March, while females emerge in April or early May. [53] In preparation for winter, bears can gain approximately 180 kg (400 lb), during a period of hyperphagia, before going into hibernation. [54] The bear often waits for a substantial snowstorm before it enters its den: such behavior ...
