Behavioral thermoregulation in mice inoculated with influenza virus.
Mice housed at 30 degrees C and inoculated with a mouse-adapted influenza virus show a fall in body temperature (Tb) and a decrease in food intake to almost 0 grams per day. This study tested whether the fall in Tb could be accounted for by the decreased food intake and whether the fall in Tb was due to a decrease of thermoregulatory set point or to an inability to maintain Tb at set point leve...
متن کاملβ-amyloid infusion into lateral ventricle alters behavioral thermoregulation and attenuates acquired heat tolerance in rats
We investigated behavioral thermoregulatory function and acquired heat tolerance of β-amyloid (Aβ)-infused rats. Male Wistar rats were anesthetized and implanted in the intraperitoneal cavity with a temperature transmitter. Aβ peptide (4.9-5.5 nmol) was dissolved in a solvent of 35% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (pH 2.0). The solvent was used as the vehicle. An osmotic pump contain...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation in obese and lean Zucker rats in a thermal gradient.
Genetically obese Zucker (Z) rats have been reported to display a body core temperature (Tb) that is consistently below that of their lean littermates. We asked the question whether the lower Tb was a result of deficits in thermoregulation or a downward resetting of the set point for Tb. For a period of 45 consecutive hours, lean and obese Z rats were free to move within a thermal gradient with...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation by turtle embryos.
Mobile ectothermic animals can control their body temperatures by selecting specific thermal conditions in the environment, but embryos--trapped within an immobile egg and lacking locomotor structures--have been assumed to lack that ability. Falsifying that assumption, our experimental studies show that even early stage turtle embryos move within the egg to exploit small-scale spatial thermal h...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation in mammals: a review.
In mammals, thermoregulation is a key feature in the maintenance of homeostasis. Thermoregulatory capacities are strongly related to energy balance and animals are constantly seeking to limit the energy costs of normothermia. In case of thermal changes, physiological mechanisms are enhanced, increasing rates of energy expenditure. However, behavioral adjustments are available for species to low...
