Body Temperature Regulation in Hot Environments. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Organisms in hot environments will not be able to passively dissipate metabolically generated heat. Instead, they have to revert to evaporative cooling, a process that is energetically expensive and promotes excessive water loss. To alleviate these costs,

Preoptic leptin signaling modulates energy balance independent of body temperature regulation. [PDF]

Elife, 2018
The adipokine leptin acts on the brain to regulate energy balance but specific functions in many brain areas remain poorly understood. Among these, the preoptic area (POA) is well known to regulate core body temperature by controlling brown fat ...

Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 (TRPM8) Channels are Involved in Body Temperature Regulation [PDF]

Molecular Pain, 2012
Background Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) is activated by cold temperature in vitro and has been demonstrated to act as a ‘cold temperature sensor’ in vivo.
