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,

Body temperature regulation in diabetes. [PDF]
Temperature (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 ...

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.

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

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

The sympathetic nervous system is controlled by transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 in the regulation of body temperature [PDF]
The FASEB Journal, 2015 Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is involved in sensory nerve nociceptive signaling. Recently, it has been discovered that TRPV1 receptors also regulate basal body temperature in multiple species from mice to humans. In the present study,

Regulation of Body Temperature by the Nervous System [PDF]
Neuron, 2018 The regulation of body temperature is one of the most critical functions of the nervous system. Here we review our current understanding of thermoregulation in mammals. We outline the molecules and cells that measure body temperature in the periphery, the neural pathways that communicate this information to the brain, and the central circuits that ...

Biomedical 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
