上集我們講述了小臭鼩應對寒冬的一道機制，今集我們將會講述熊貓應付寒冬的一道怪招。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2oCyWxVTN

（圖2）有研究發現（Ref1)，當攝氏低過15度的時候，熊貓會將馬糞塗滿全身，而且選糞中亦有一定的揀擇，牠們並不會採用暴露於大自然間超過10日的馬糞。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPeov0KYCN

為何會塗糞上身，而且為何又如此揀擇呢？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6lF41KDOo

（圖3）最後科學家發現，新鮮馬糞含有一定份量的化合物，BCP/BCPO (beta-caryophyllene/caryophyllene oxide) ，而這些化合物具有抑壓負責感測寒冷的TRPM8蛋白質功效。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2V2BHpZMu

利用老鼠作實驗體，在牠們身體塗上BCP/BCPO液體以模仿熊貓塗馬糞的舉動，對比塗上鹽水的對照群組，塗上化合物液體的老鼠較傾向行走寒冷的地方，而且亦較少互相擁抱取暖。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeRR4xJgSs
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVBPfw0udX
因此科學家推斷，熊腦大有可能透過馬糞中的化合物抑制身體的TRPM8蛋白質，以自欺欺人的方式盡量減低身體感知寒冷的能力，使自己感覺良好渡過寒冬。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOqPBsOdWh

但為何熊貓會懂得馬糞中含有對應的化合物，那就還是一個無法拆解的謎。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QKmDLn4Ud
亦有可能的是，馬糞還有另外的功用尚未被揭曉出來。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsuqA0qXke
