Prostaglandin Transporter OATP2A1/SLCO2A1 Is Essential for Body Temperature Regulation during Fever [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the hypothalamus is a principal mediator of the febrile response. However, the role of organic anion transporting polypeptide 2A1 (OATP2A1/SLCO2A1), a prostaglandin transporter, in facilitating this response is unknown.

Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels are involved in body temperature regulation [PDF]
BackgroundTransient 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.

Estradiol alters body temperature regulation in the female mouse [PDF]
Hot flushes are due to estrogen withdrawal and characterized by the episodic activation of heat dissipation effectors. Recent studies (in humans and rats) have implicated neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor signaling in the genesis of hot flushes.

Body temperature regulation in diabetes [PDF]
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 ...

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

Cooling rates and body temperature regulation of hibernating echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) [PDF]
SUMMARY Echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) are amongst the largest deep hibernators, but it is difficult to get them to hibernate normally under laboratory conditions.
