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,

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.

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

open access: yeseLife, 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: 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 ...

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 ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Body temperature and its regulation

open access: yesAnaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2014
Abstract Humans are homeotherms, i.e. they fix their temperature regardless of their environment. This is vital for normal cellular function and for metabolism to be independent of external temperature. The body has a warm ‘core’ and a cooler peripheral ‘shell’ whose role is to regulate heat transfer in and out of the core.

Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels are involved in body temperature regulation

open access: yesMolecular 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.
