CURRENT STUDIES IN THERMOREGULATION
The aim of this review is to present recent advances in the understanding of the physiological mechanisms of thermoregulation in mammals, which can be divided into two types including reflex (or autonomic) and behavioral thermoregulation.

The human being is a homeotherm. Homeothermy is a result of thermoregulation which includes many physiological processes. Thermoregulation maintains an equilibrium between heat production (thermogenesis) and heat loss (thermolysis).

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]
The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

The biochemical basis for thermoregulation in heatproducing flowers [PDF]
Thermoregulation (homeothermy) in animals involves a complex mechanism involving thermal receptors throughout the body and integration in the hypothalamus that controls shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.

Foraging patch selection in winter: a balance between predation risk and thermoregulation benefit. [PDF]
In winter, foraging activity is intended to optimize food search while minimizing both thermoregulation costs and predation risk. Here we quantify the relative importance of thermoregulation and predation in foraging patch selection of woodland birds ...

REM Sleep and Endothermy: Potential Sites and Mechanism of a Reciprocal Interference
Numerous data show a reciprocal interaction between REM sleep and thermoregulation. During REM sleep, the function of thermoregulation appears to be impaired; from the other hand, the tonic activation of thermogenesis, such as during cold exposure ...

Female (Under) Representation in Exercise Thermoregulation Research
BACKGROUND: Despite an increasing rate of women participating in professional sports, emergency services, and military settings where they are exposed to exertional heat stress, our understanding of female thermoregulation and the detrimental effects of ...

Impairments to thermoregulation in the elderly during heat exposure events [PDF]
Heat waves represent a public health risk to elderly people, and typically result in an increased rate of hospital admissions and deaths. Studies of thermoregulation in this cohort have generally focused on single elements such as sweating capacity ...
