So I can't find concise info on the exact source of heat radiating from mitochondrial leaky membrane thermogenerating systems. In brown adipose tissue the proton channel UCP-1 allows protons to bypass ATP synthase, but once the protons get to the other side, do they just form water with random OH- or NAD+ or some other redox carrier?
Is the heat generated in UCP-1, like a bunch of small interactions that amount to a something like friction, or from an exothermic reaction?
