Role of the dorsomedial and ventrolateral medulla in the regulation of pain sensitivity in the endotoxemic organism
… vagotomy disturbed nociception and body temperature regulation during endotoxemia. Micro-injections of glutamate or vanilloid receptor agonists in toxic concentrations into the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) lead to the similar effect. …

Effects of Environmental Temperature on Sleep and Waking in Normal Rats and Rats With Basal Forebrain Damage
… structures) causes hyposomnia and impairs body temperature regulation. Normal sleep is sensitive to thermal stress--animals spend the most time asleep at thermoneutral temperatures, and amounts of sleep decline in the heat and in the cold. Amounts of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep in normal …

Foraging, Feeding, Energetics, and Environment: Interactions Between Physiology and Ecology of Gila Monsters
… of Gila monsters, the effects of feeding on body temperature selection, and the ability of individuals to physiologically control heat exchange. These investigations set the stage for the ecological importance of body temperature regulation, and also provide a baseline by which to …

Methods and adaptations required to perform small-animal MRI scanning using a large bore clinical MRI
… (RF) coil, physical support (cradle), a core body temperature regulation system, and optimization of pulse sequences. The system was validated using a phantom and in-vivo in 5 healthy rats. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the phantom was 91% higher using the small-animal coil compared to …

Thermoregulation and behavior of a peripheral population of evening bats (<i>nycticeius humeralis</i>)
<p>I used temperature-sensitive radio transmitters to measure body temperatures of tree-roosting evening bats (<em>Nycticeius humeralis</em>) at the northern edge of their range in Lenawee Co., Michigan. Temperature at sunset, diurnal temperature, and nocturnal temperature significantly correlated …

Sex Differences in Heat Shock Protein 72 Expression and Inflammatory Response to Acute Exercise in the Heat.
This study evaluated possible sex differences in intracellular heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72), intracellular cytokines, and extracellular Hsp72 (eHsp72) before and after exercise in the heat. Nine non-heat acclimated women (W) (age 23 ± 3, BF 21 ± 2%, VO2max 58 ± 5 ml/kgFFM/min) and nine non-heat …

Bee diversity in Angola and community change along an altitudinal gradient at Serra da Chela (Bruco)
… for insects particularly since their capacity of body temperature regulation is determined by the ambient temperature. Additionally, bee diversity has proven to be strongly related to the availability of host plants, determinant factors for their presence or absence and both of which are limited …

Peripheral blood flow changes in response to post-exercise cold water immersion
A reduction in body temperature is considered to be the primary mechanism by which cold water immersion (CWI) enhances short-term (h) recovery and improves exercise capacity in the heat. However, improvement in exercise performance may be optimised at a given cooling magnitude. Water temperature …

Short term recovery with cold water immersion following cycling in the heat
Increases in core temperature are associated with perceptions of fatigue and reductions in physical work capacity. Following completion of a bout of exercise in the heat, cold water immersion (CWI) is sometimes used by athletes to rapidly decrease their core temperature, and may facilitate …

The effect of nursing interventions on thermoregulation and neuromotor function in very low birthweight infants
… posture and its related negative outcomes temperature instability is also a problem for VLBW infants and no nappy exists that meets postural size and thermoregulation requirements. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of a nursing care model designed for the primary …
