Climate change is increasing both seasonal temperatures and the frequency and severity of
heat extremes. As the endocrine system facilitates physiological adaptations to temperature …

▪ Abstract Hypoxia elicits an array of compensatory responses in animals ranging from
protozoa to mammals. Central among these responses is anapyrexia, the regulated …

Rates of delivery by caesarean section (CS) are increasing around the globe and, although
several epidemiological associations have already been observed between CS and health …

temperature 3.2. Delta opioid receptors and body temperature 3.3. Mu opioid receptors and …

Animal studies have indicated that nitric oxide is a key signalling molecule involved in the
tonic restraint of central sympathetic outflow from the brainstem. Extension of these findings …

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the control of emotion, learning, and memory. We
have examined endothelial NO synthase-deficient mice (eNOS−/−) in terms of habituation to …

Deep body temperature (Tb) is kept relatively constant despite a wide range of ambient
temperature variation. Nevertheless, in particular situations it is beneficial to decrease or to …

To assess the role of nitric oxide (NO) in central thermoregulatory mechanisms during
exercise, 1.43 μmol (2μL) of Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, n= 6), a NO synthase …

Vasopressin neuropeptides play an important role in the several cognitive, social, and
neuroendocrine functions. Also, several studies report the involvement of nitrergic system in …

(1) In this article, the aspects regarding the role of nitric oxide (NO) in thermoregulation and
fever is reviewed.(2) It is currently believed that fever results from de novo synthesis of …
