Protection of the brain against heat damage
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014 In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2016 Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in
