Few environmental factors have a larger influence on animal energetics than temperature, a
fact that makes thermoregulation a very important process for survival. In general …

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

Treatment of mice with a toxic dose of acetaminophen (300 mg/kg, ip) significantly increased
hepatotoxicity at 4 h, as evidenced by histological necrosis in the centrilobular areas of the …

We examined the magnitude of the hypoxic metabolic response in golden-mantled ground
squirrels to determine whether the shift in thermoregulatory set point (Tset) and subsequent …

Hypoxia is well known to reduce the body temperature (Tb) of mammals, although the neural
origins of this response remain uncertain. Short‐term hypoxic exposure causes a reduction …

Introduction 3. Opioid effects on body temperature 3.1. Kappa opioid receptors and body
temperature 3.2. Delta opioid receptors and body temperature 3.3. Mu opioid receptors and …

The febrile increase of body temperature is regarded as a component of the complex host
response to infection or inflammation that accompanies the activation of the immune system …

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 …

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 …
