Sex Differences in Human Thermoregulation: Relevance for 2020 and Beyond.

Physiology, 2020
The participation of women in physically strenuous athletic and occupational tasks has increased substantially in the past decade. Female sex steroids have influences on thermoregulatory processes that could impact physical performance in the heat. Here,

Stretchable and Heat‐Resistant Protein‐Based Electronic Skin for Human Thermoregulation

Advanced Functional Materials, 2020
Silk protein is one of the a promising materials for on‐skin and implantable electronic devices due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, its intrinsic brittleness as well as poor thermal stability limits its applications.

Neonatal Thermoregulation

Advances in Neonatal Care, 2020
Background: Premature infants are poor regulators of body temperature and are subjected to environmental factors that can lead to rapid heat loss, leaving them vulnerable to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from hypothermia.

Thermoregulation in Women

Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 1993
Abstract : Early investigations concerning thermoregulation in women emphasized direct comparisons to men; eventually the importance of controlling for physical fitness, heat acclimation, body fat, and size before comparing men and women was recognized.

Peptides and thermoregulation

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1980
Several peptides are now known to affect thermoregulation. These include beta-endorphin, bombesin, MIF-I, alpha-MSH, neurotensin, TRH, and DSIP. Some of these have been found to interact with the thermal effects of d-amphetamine, a drug with well established actions on thermoregulation.

Physiology of Thermoregulation

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2008
Core body temperature is one of the most tightly regulated parameters of human physiology. At any given time, body temperature differs from the expected value by no more than a few tenths of a degree. However, slight daily variations are due to circadian rhythm, and, in women, monthly variations are due to their menstrual cycle.

Thermoregulation in the hippopotamus [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1964
Measurements of the sub-lingual temperature and of the skin temperature of the nose, ears, neck, dewlap, sides and back of two hippopotami (HIPPOPOTAMUS AMPHIBIUS L.) in the Zoological Park at Wroclaw have been made. The mean sub-lingual temperature was 36.1‡C but a diurnal rhythm of sub-lingual temperature was evident, which was not related to changes

Yawning and thermoregulation

Physiology & Behavior, 2008
We review a growing body of medical and physiological evidence indicating that yawning may be a thermoregulatory mechanism, providing compensatory cooling when other provisions fail to operate favorably. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, migraine headaches, epilepsy, stress and anxiety, and schizophrenia have all be linked to thermoregulatory ...
