Serum iron levels have been shown to decline both with fever and with strenuous exercise, leading to the supposition that
the decrease might be the result of a rise in core body temperature. To evaluate this hypothesis, the serum iron response
to an exercise-induced 1.5°C rise in core body temperature was measured. To increase core temperature, five females and two
males exercised in an environmental chamber heated to 41°C with a relative humidity of 40%. Blood samples were taken before
exercise and immediately after body temperature increased approximately 1.5°C. Blood was also collected 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h
postexercise. Results showed that the core body temperature significantly increased (p<0.001) from a mean baseline value of 36.5±0.1°C to 38.1±0.1°C following exercise. A one-way repeated measures analysis of
variance was used to examine the effect of increased core body temperature on serum iron levels over the five time periods:
preexercise, immediate postexercise, and 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h postexercise. The results indicated that there were no significant
differences in serum iron levels among time periods. This suggests that the previously reported depression of serum iron levels
that occurs with fever and after prolonged exercise is not the result of hyperthermia. Rather, the change in serum iron occurs
in response to biological or physiological stressors, such as bacterial infection, muscle damage, or unusual trauma. Further
studies are needed to explicate the mechanisms responsible for these changes. 相似文献

The measurement of core body temperature is an efficient method for monitoring heat stress amongst workers in hot conditions. However, invasive measurement of core body temperature (e.g. rectal, intestinal, oesophageal temperature) is impractical for such applications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to define relevant non-invasive measures to predict core body temperature under various conditions. We conducted two human subject studies with different experimental protocols, different environmental temperatures (10 °C, 30 °C) and different subjects. In both studies the same non-invasive measurement methods (skin temperature, skin heat flux, heart rate) were applied. A principle component analysis was conducted to extract independent factors, which were then used in a linear regression model. We identified six parameters (three skin temperatures, two skin heat fluxes and heart rate), which were included for the calculation of two factors. The predictive value of these factors for core body temperature was evaluated by a multiple regression analysis. The calculated root mean square deviation (rmsd) was in the range from 0.28 °C to 0.34 °C for all environmental conditions. These errors are similar to previous models using non-invasive measures to predict core body temperature. The results from this study illustrate that multiple physiological parameters (e.g. skin temperature and skin heat fluxes) are needed to predict core body temperature. In addition, the physiological measurements chosen in this study and the algorithm defined in this work are potentially applicable as real-time core body temperature monitoring to assess health risk in broad range of working conditions. 相似文献

There is considerable interest in understanding how ectothermic animals may physiologically and behaviourally buffer the effects of climate warming. Much less consideration is being given to how organisms might adapt to non-climatic heat sources in ways that could confound predictions for responses of species and communities to climate warming. Although adaptation to non-climatic heat sources (solar and geothermal) seems likely in some marine species, climate warming predictions for marine ectotherms are largely based on adaptation to climatically relevant heat sources (air or surface sea water temperature). Here, we show that non-climatic solar heating underlies thermal resistance adaptation in a rocky–eulittoral-fringe snail. Comparisons of the maximum temperatures of the air, the snail''s body and the rock substratum with solar irradiance and physiological performance show that the highest body temperature is primarily controlled by solar heating and re-radiation, and that the snail''s upper lethal temperature exceeds the highest climatically relevant regional air temperature by approximately 22°C. Non-climatic thermal adaptation probably features widely among marine and terrestrial ectotherms and because it could enable species to tolerate climatic rises in air temperature, it deserves more consideration in general and for inclusion into climate warming models. 相似文献

We studied the temperature relations of wild and zoo Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) focusing on (1) the relationship between environmental temperature and tortoise activity patterns (n = 8 wild individuals) and (2) on tortoise body temperature fluctuations, including how their core and external body temperatures vary in relation to different environmental temperature ranges (seasons; n = 4 wild and n = 5 zoo individuals). In addition, we surveyed the literature to review the effect of body mass on core body temperature range in relation to environmental temperature in the Testudinidae. Diurnal activity of tortoises was bimodally distributed and influenced by environmental temperature and season. The mean air temperature at which activity is maximized was 27.9°C, with a range of 25.8–31.7°C. Furthermore, air temperature explained changes in the core body temperature better than did mass, and only during the coldest trial, did tortoises with higher mass show more stable temperatures. Our results, together with the overall Testudinidae overview, suggest that, once variation in environmental temperature has been taken into account, there is little effect of mass on the temperature stability of tortoises. Moreover, the presence of thermal inertia in an individual tortoise depends on the environmental temperatures, and we found no evidence for inertial homeothermy. Finally, patterns of core and external body temperatures in comparison with environmental temperatures suggest that Aldabra giant tortoises act as mixed conformer–regulators. Our study provides a baseline to manage the thermal environment of wild and rewilded populations of an important island ecosystem engineer species in an era of climate change. 相似文献

Background
Hypothermia in burns is common and increases morbidity and mortality. Several methods are available to reach and maintain normal core body temperature, but have not yet been evaluated in critical care for burned patients. Our unit's ordinary technique for controlling body temperature (Bair Hugger®+ radiator ceiling + bed warmer + Hotline®) has many drawbacks e.g.; slow and the working environment is hampered. The aim of this study was to compare our ordinary heating technique with newly-developed methods: the Allon?2001 Thermowrap (a temperature regulating water-mattress), and Warmcloud (a temperature regulating air-mattress).Methods
Ten consecutive burned patients (> 20% total burned surface area and a core temperature < 36.0°C) were included in this prospective, randomised, comparative study. Patients were randomly exposed to 3 heating methods. Each treatment/measuring-cycle lasted for 6 hours. Each heating method was assessed for 2 hours according to a randomised timetable. Core temperature was measured using an indwelling (bladder) thermistor. Paired t-tests were used to assess the significance of differences between the treatments within the patients. ANOVA was used to assess the differences in temperature from the first to the last measurement among all treatments. Three-way ANOVA with the Tukey HSD post hoc test and a repeated measures ANOVA was used in the same manner, but included information about patients and treatment/measuring-cycles to control for potential confounding. Data are presented as mean (SD) and (range). Probabilities of less than 0.05 were accepted as significant.Results
The mean increase, 1.4 (SD 0.6°C; range 0.6-2.6°C) in core temperature/treatment/measuring-cycle highly significantly favoured the Allon?2001 Thermowrap in contrast to the conventional method 0.2 (0.6)°C (range -1.2 to 1.5°C) and the Warmcloud 0.3 (0.4)°C (range -0.4 to 0.9°C). The procedures for using the Allon?2001 Thermowrap were experienced to be more comfortable and straightforward than the conventional method or the Warmcloud.Conclusions
The Allon?2001 Thermowrap was more effective than the Warmcloud or the conventional method in controlling patients' temperatures. 相似文献6.
Historically, studies of reptilian thermal biology have compared ambient temperatures (Ta) to body temperatures (Tb) from the animal under study, with Tb usually taken from the cloaca and various instruments being used to measure Tb. The advent of surgically implanted miniature temperature loggers has offered the opportunity to test the efficacy of cloacal Tb as a measurement in thermoregulatory studies. We expected that there was a difference between skin, cloacal, and core Tb's. Temperatures were measured from various positions on leopard tortoises (Stigmochelys pardalis) using thermocouples and miniature temperature loggers, including surgically implanted temperature loggers. Measurements of temperature from various positions on and in the tortoise were significantly different from Ta. Cloacal Tb's were significantly lower than all other body temperatures measured, and core Tb's were significantly different from cloacal Tb, skin and carapace temperatures. In addition, significant differences were found between measures of temperature from other parts of the body. The variations between core Tb, cloacal Tb and other measures of Tb indicated that there are large thermal gradients within the body of a relatively large tortoise at any given time with cloacal Tb not an accurate measure of core Tb. 相似文献

Summary The effects of narcosis and of telemetry transmitter implantation on core temperature and locomotor activity were investigated in female laboratory mice of various age (3, 15 and 52 weeks old). Following surgery a transient hypothermia was observed. The body temperatures measured 30 min after beginning of narcosis were lower in juvenile and in presenile mice (29.6° ±0.8°C resp. 30.0° ±0.2°C) than in adult animals (31.9° ±0.3°C). The following temperature increase was fastest in juvenile mice. Normal body temperature was reached after 6h 20’ already. Adult and presenile mice needed 8h 30’ resp. 7h 30’. The temperature increase seemed to be independent from activity behaviour of the animals. No substantial differences could be obtained whether the transmitters had room or body temperature before implantation and whether the animals were warmed after surgery by an infrared bulb or not. Probably, the temperature increase depended mainly on the elimination rate of the drug. Normal circadian core temperature and activity rhythms reappeared on average within 5–6 days in juvenile mice and a little faster in adult (4–5 days) as well as in presenile ones (3–4 days). However, interindividual differences in recovery time were more pronounced than age‐dependent variations. Circadian core temperature and activity patterns were quite similar in all three age classes investigated. Ontogenetic differences concern, besides changes in daily mean values, mainly a temperature amplitude increasing with age, as well as a high percentage of ultradian components in the activity pattern of juvenile mice compared to older ones. Telemetry systems are widely used for long‐term measurements of core temperature in laboratory animals (Clement et al., 1989; Refinetti and Menaker, 1992). In our investigations of ontogenetic changes of the circadian temperature and activity rhythms in mice we used an integrated telemetry and data acquisition system (Dataquest, Data Sciences Inc., USA). It comprises implantable wireless transmitters, telemetry receivers, a consolidation matrix and a data acquisition system. The aim of a preliminary study was to analyse the effects of narcosis and transmitter implantation. The time required to recover normal values of body temperature and of locomotor activity as well as normal circadian rhythms was determined, considering also ontogenetic variations. 相似文献

Viviparity (live-bearing) in reptiles often is interpreted as an adaptation to cold climates. This hypothesis relies on (i) body temperatures of gravid females being higher than soil (nest) temperatures; (ii) embryonic development being accelerated by this temperature difference; and (iii) survivorship of hatchlings being increased if eggs hatch before the advent of cold weather in autumn. I gathered data to test these assumptions, using eight species of scincid lizards in a high-elevation area of southeastern Australia. Due to behavioural thermoregulation, body temperatures of gravid lizards average ca. 7°C higher than soil (nest) temperatures. Oviparous female lizards retain eggs in utero for ca. 50% of development. Laboratory studies show that a temperature increase from 17°C (mean nest temperature) to 24°C (mean lizard temperature) reduces incubation periods of eggs by >40 days in heliothermic species, and <20 days in a thigmothermic species. In the field, soil temperatures drop to lethally low levels shortly after the usual time of hatching. Simple calculations show that without the acceleration of development caused by uterine retention, eggs could not hatch prior to the onset of these low temperatures in the field. These results support the major assumptions of the “cold climate hypothesis” for the evolution of reptilian viviparity. 相似文献

Understanding the physiological processes that underpin primate performance is key if we are to assess how a primate might respond when navigating new and changing environments. Given the connection between a mammal's ability to thermoregulate and the changing demands of its thermal environment, increasing attention is being devoted to the study of thermoregulatory processes as a means to assess primate performance. Infrared thermography can be used to record the body surface temperatures of free-ranging animals. However, some uncertainty remains as to how these measurements can be used to approximate core body temperature. Here, we use data collected from wild vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) to examine the relationship between infrared body surface temperature, core body (intra-abdominal) temperature, and local climate, to determine to what extent surface temperatures reflect core body temperature. While we report a positive association between surface and core body temperature—a finding that has previously been used to justify the use of surface temperature measurements as a proxy for core temperature regulation—when we controlled for the effect of the local climate in our analyses, this relationship was no longer observed. That is, body surface temperatures were solely predicted by local climate, and not core body temperatures, suggesting that surface temperatures tell us more about the environment a primate is in, and less about the thermal status of its body core in that environment. Despite the advantages of a noninvasive means to detect and record animal temperatures, infrared thermography alone cannot be used to approximate core body temperature in wild primates. 相似文献

Many studies have linked measures of adult body shape and mass in ancient and contemporary populations to ecogeographical variables such as temperature and latitude. These results tend to support Bergmann's rule, which posits that bodies will be relatively less slender for their height in colder climates and more slender in warmer climates. Less well explored is the ontogeny of these population‐level differences. Here we use data on infants and children from 46 low and lower income countries to test whether children's weight for height is associated with measures of temperature and latitude. We also test the hypothesis that children living in areas with greater pathogen prevalence will be lighter for their height because of life history trade‐offs between investment in immune function and growth. Finally, we test whether population specific adult body mass predicts infant and child body mass, and whether this is independent of ecogeographical variables. Our results show that maximum monthly temperature explains 17% of children's weight for height while adult population‐level body mass explains ~44% (Table 5 ). The measures of pathogen prevalence explain little of the variation in children's body shape (8%; P > 0.05). Our results suggest that population differences are consistent with Bergmann's rule but parental body shape explains more variance. Moreover, these population‐level differences arise early in development, suggesting that any possible environmental influences occur in utero and/or result from epigenetic or population genetic differences.

Hyperthermia is described as the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with capture, immobilization and restraint of wild animals. Therefore, accurately determining the core body temperature of wild animals during capture is crucial for monitoring hyperthermia and the efficacy of cooling procedures. We investigated if microchip thermometry can accurately reflect core body temperature changes during capture and cooling interventions in the springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis), a medium-sized antelope. Subcutaneous temperature measured with a temperature-sensitive microchip was a weak predictor of core body temperature measured by temperature-sensitive data loggers in the abdominal cavity (R2=0.32, bias >2 °C). Temperature-sensitive microchips in the gluteus muscle, however, provided an accurate estimate of core body temperature (R2=0.76, bias=0.012 °C). Microchips inserted into muscle therefore provide a convenient and accurate method to measure body temperature continuously in captured antelope, allowing detection of hyperthermia and the efficacy of cooling procedures. 相似文献

Cloistered monks and nuns adhere to a 10-century-old strict schedule with a common zeitgeber of a night split by a 2- to 3-h-long Office (Matins). The authors evaluated how the circadian core body temperature rhythm and sleep adapt in cloistered monks and nuns in two monasteries. Five monks and five nuns following the split-sleep night schedule for 5 to 46 yrs without interruption and 10 controls underwent interviews, sleep scales, and physical examination and produced a week-long sleep diary and actigraphy, plus 48-h recordings of core body temperature. The circadian rhythm of temperature was described by partial Fourier time-series analysis (with 12- and 24-h harmonics). The temperature peak and trough values and clock times did not differ between groups. However, the temperature rhythm was biphasic in monks and nuns, with an early decrease at 19:39?±?4:30?h (median?±?95% interval), plateau or rise of temperature at 22:35?±?00:23?h (while asleep) lasting 296?±?39?min, followed by a second decrease after the Matins Office, and a classical morning rise. Although they required alarm clocks to wake-up for Matins at midnight, the body temperature rise anticipated the nocturnal awakening by 85?±?15?min. Compared to the controls, the monks and nuns had an earlier sleep onset (20:05?±?00:59?h vs. 00:00?±?00:54?h, median?±?95% confidence interval, p?=?.0001) and offset (06:27?±?0:22?h, vs. 07:37?±?0:33?h, p?=?.0001), as well as a shorter sleep time (6.5?±?0.6 vs. 7.6?±?0.7?h, p?=?.05). They reported difficulties with sleep latency, sleep duration, and daytime function, and more frequent hypnagogic hallucinations. In contrast to their daytime silence, they experienced conversations (and occasionally prayers) in dreams. The biphasic temperature profile in monks and nuns suggests the human clock adapts to and even anticipates nocturnal awakenings. It resembles the biphasic sleep and rhythm of healthy volunteers transferred to a short (10-h) photoperiod and provides a living glance into the sleep pattern of medieval time.

It is widely accepted that modern humans conform to Bergmann''s rule, which holds that body size in endothermic species will increase as temperature decreases. However, there are reasons to question the reliability of the findings on which this consensus is based. One of these is that the main studies that have reported that modern humans conform to Bergmann''s rule have employed samples that contain a disproportionately large number of warm-climate and northern hemisphere groups. With this in mind, we used latitudinally-stratified and hemisphere-specific samples to re-assess the relationship between modern human body size and temperature. We found that when groups from north and south of the equator were analyzed together, Bergmann''s rule was supported. However, when groups were separated by hemisphere, Bergmann''s rule was only supported in the northern hemisphere. In the course of exploring these results further, we found that the difference between our northern and southern hemisphere subsamples is due to the limited latitudinal and temperature range in the latter subsample. Thus, our study suggests that modern humans do conform to Bergmann''s rule but only when there are major differences in latitude and temperature among groups. Specifically, groups must span more than 50 degrees of latitude and/or more than 30°C for it to hold. This finding has important implications for work on regional variation in human body size and its relationship to temperature. 相似文献

Horse core body temperature (CBT) was monitored by three methods to compare three distinct physiological locations (blood temperature, BT; rectal temperature, RT; and telemetry-based gastrointestinal temperature, GT). Calibrated results indicate that CBT was different for each location (0.5 °C greater GT vs. RT; 1.0 °C greater GT vs. BT). The diurnal CBT average, minimum, and maximum were 38.0, 37.6, and 38.5 °C, respectively; and the telemetry-based system for measuring GT applied in this study is an acceptable alternative method for monitoring core body temperature in horses. 相似文献

The cardiovascular, autonomic and thermal response to whole-body cryostimulation exposure are not completely known. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate objectively and noninvasively autonomic and thermal reactions observed after short exposure to very low temperatures. We examined 25 healthy men with mean age 30.1±3.7 years and comparable anthropomorphical characteristic. Each subject was exposed to cryotherapeutic temperatures in a cryogenic chamber for 3 min (approx. −120 °C). The cardiovascular and autonomic parameters were measured noninvasively with Task Force® Monitor. The changes in core body temperature were determined with the Vital Sense® telemetric measurement system. Results show that 3 min to cryotherapeutic temperatures causes significant changes in autonomic balance which are induced by peripheral and central blood volume changes. Cryostimulation also induced changes in core body temperature, maximum drop of core temperature was observed 50–60 min after the stimulation. Autonomic and thermal reactions to cryostimulation were observed up to 6 h after the exposure and were not harmful for examined subjects. 相似文献

It has been previously reported that sauna-induced fevers (approximately 39 degrees C) result in rises of beta-endorphins in normal volunteers. This report describes changes in plasma beta-endorphins in cancer patients undergoing whole body hyperthermia (40.5 degrees C to 41.8 degrees C). Results presented show that there is a linear relationship between thermal stress, defined in terms of core temperature and/or duration of hyperthermia, and the quantitative rise in plasma beta-endorphin levels. Data relating to changes in ACTH and cortisol levels are in a single temperature range (41.5 degrees C--41.8 degrees C) are also reported. 相似文献

In most freeze tolerant insects, the tolerance of the formation of internal body ice is arrived at by a two‐step process: (S‐1) a period of supercooling of the body fluids that is followed by (S‐2) the freezing event. To date, the necessity of S‐1 remains to be questioned seriously. The present study reports evidence that S‐1 may be almost completely substituted or superseded in large‐bodied insects by integumental buffering. In the New Zealand alpine grasshopper Sigaus australis Hutton, there is a substantial difference between external and body core temperatures at the moment when internal ice nucleation is registered. Using the invagination of the pleural suture as a nondetrimental proxy for the core and the sclerotized postnotum as a measure of surface temperature, comparisons of the temperature of crystallization (Tc) show a highly significant difference (P < 0.001; Kolmogorov–Smirnov test). Proxy core Tc values are in the range from ?0.11 to ?4.78 °C compared with the range of ?4.1 to ?14.2 °C in external proxy Tc values. Although a thermal lag may sometimes be quietly assumed in measurements of Tc, a temperature differential of this size (approximately 6 °C), which is equivalent to the entire supercooling potential of many freeze tolerant insects, is of particular note. These findings have wider application to other large‐bodied insects with similarly well‐developed integumental protection. 相似文献
