Body Temperature Regulation in Hot Environments. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: goldeLife, 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 ...

Body temperature regulation in diabetes. [PDF]

open access: yesTemperature (Austin), 2016
The effects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes on the body's physiological response to thermal stress is a relatively new topic in research. Diabetes tends to place individuals at greater risk for heat-related illness during heat waves and physical activity due to an impaired capacity to dissipate heat.

Body temperature regulation: Sasang typology-based perspective [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative Medicine Research, 2015
Global warming induces a dramatic elevation of heat-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Individual variation of heat stress vulnerability depends on various factors such as age, gender, living area and conditions, health status, and individual ...

Skin melanin is associated with body temperature regulation in humans and mice. [PDF]

open access: goldPLoS ONE
Body temperature, a universally measured clinical indicator of physiological equilibrium, guides critical treatment decisions. Multiple studies have observed significant body temperature differences among racial subgroups, with Black patients ...

Newborn’s body temperature regulation: a multi-method training program [PDF]

open access: diamondJournal of Research in Clinical Medicine, 2021
Introduction: Newborns’ incapability to self-regulate their body temperature exposes them torisk of many complications. Therefore, proper initiations of nursing interventions are crucial for ensuring early stabilization after birth.

Insulin sensing by astrocytes is critical for normal thermogenesis and body temperature regulation. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Endocrinol, 2020
The important role of astrocytes in the central control of energy balance and glucose homeostasis has only recently been recognized. Changes in thermoregulation can lead to metabolic dysregulation, but the role of astrocytes in this process is not yet ...

EFFECTS OF COLD ON BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION OF WILD TURKEYS [PDF]

open access: hybridWildlife Society Bulletin, 2000
: In northern latitudes, many bird species conserve energy during cold periods by decreasing their resting phase body temperature (Tb). We evaluated the influence of cold stress on Tb regulation of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during ...

Interleukin-6 is important for regulation of core body temperature during long-term cold exposure in mice

open access: diamondBiomedical Reports, 2018
Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a cytokine important for inducing the fever response during infection and has been reported to uphold core body temperature during acute cold exposure. Recently it has also been indicated that IL6 in serum increases in cold-exposed
