Short-term exposure to cold temperatures stimulates brown fat, which burns calories and has emerged as a popular target for promoting cardiometabolic health.
Brown fat, which burns calories and has become a popular target to encourage cardiometabolic health, is activated by brief exposure to cold temperatures.
A key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis is an abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature, causing people to faint and, if untreated, potentially die.
An abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature is a key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, causing people to faint and, if untreated, potentially die. That response has long been attributed to blood vessel dilation and leakage. However, in a mouse study, res

For many children, the winter season comes with regular exposure to circulating viruses at school or daycare. A warm forehead is often one of the first clear signs a child has caught a bug
A group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area of the brain play a key role in regulating body temperature in mammals, reported a research group at Nagoya University in Japan.

A group of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan discovered that EP3 neurons in the preoptic area of the brain play an important role in controlling body temperature in animals.
Blood levels of stress hormones in free-living great tits vary greatly. As the great tits encountered various ambient temperatures, the researchers noted significant variations in how strongly the levels of the glucocorticoid hormone changed in various individuals.
The body's response to infection or inflammation is fever, which also serves as a defence mechanism against things like viruses and bacteria. The body releases molecules called cytokines into the bloodstream when it is infected or inflammatory. The blood-brain barrier, a system of microscopi
