The effect of thermal insulation pads on heat flux, physical effort and perceived exertion during endurance exercise in cool environments

open access: yesFashion and Textiles, 2018
To determine the effects of thermal insulation pads on clothing surface temperature, physical effort and perceived exertion during endurance exercise in cool environments two different pants (PCOOL, PINSUL) were designed: PCOOL (Insulation: 0.055 clo ...

Protracted effects of chronic stress on serotonin-dependent thermoregulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Chronic stress is known to affect serotonin (5HT) neurotransmission in the brain and to alter body temperature. The body temperature is controlled in part, by the medial preoptic area (mPOA) of the hypothalamus.

Circadian Oscillations in the Murine Preoptic Area Are Reset by Temperature, but Not Light

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Mammals maintain their internal body temperature within a physiologically optimal range. This involves the regulation of core body temperature in response to changing environmental temperatures and a natural circadian oscillation of internal temperatures.

Effects of human head hair on performance and thermoregulatory responses during 10-km outdoor running in healthy men

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2016
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of human head hair on performance and thermoregulatory responses during 10-km outdoor running in healthy men. Twelve healthy males (29.5 ± 3.7 years, 174.9 ± 4.3 cm, 72.7 ± 3.2 kg and VO2max 44.6 ±

Aerobic power, huddling and the efficiency of torpor in the South American marsupial, Dromiciops gliroides. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
During periods of cold, small endotherms depend on a continuous supply of food and energy to maintain euthermic body temperature (T(b)), which can be challenging if food is limited. In these conditions, energy-saving strategies are critical to reduce the

Considerations for the measurement of core, skin and mean body temperatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Despite previous reviews and commentaries, significant misconceptions remain concerning deep-body (core) and skin temperature measurement in humans. Therefore, the authors have assembled the pertinent Laws of Thermodynamics and other first principles ...

An approach that helps break down gender stereotypes: Research and Commentary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Globally, the use of the skin to skin (STS) contact, also known as kangaroo care, has become widely used within neonatal units. Evidence suggests that STS has a number of significant benefits for both premature infants and their parents. Benefits include

Body orientation for thermoregulation and daily activity cycle of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Squamata: Scincidae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2018
We investigated the daily activity and thermoregulatory body orientation of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Hoge, 1947), a lizard species that occurs in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
