The Effects of Hypobaric Pressure on Thermoregulation in The Unrestrained New Zealand White Rabbit, Oryctolagus Cuniculus
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe thermoregulatory responses of unrestrained New Zealand white rabbits were studied in relation to altitudes of 20,000 feet, 25,000 and 30,000 feet, and at ambient temperatures of 0(DEGREES)C, 15(DEGREES)C and 25(DEGREES)C at these three altitudes. Forty-two adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used in this research. The preoptic area of the brain was heated and cooled at these ambient temperatures while monitoring metabolism, ear pinna temperature, back temperature, preoptic temperature, breathing rate and heart rate.
