A SURVEY OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, DRINKING, SWEATING AND BODY TEMPERATURE

Survey of the Relationship Between Obesity Prevalence and Ambient Temperature: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Ambient temperature is considered as a factor affecting on the body's metabolism, So that increase or decrease ambient temperature to the range thermoneutral zone (TNZ) (This temperature is 20.3°C to 23°C for covered people) lead to body metabolic changes, and maybe effective on the increase or reduce the prevalence of obesity. Our aim of this study was to review ...

Mean body temperature and the control of thermal sweating.

The effect of water temperature and voluntary drinking on the post rehydration sweating.

During heat stress and dehydration, thermoregulation is partly suppressed to save body fluid and circulation. Drinking induces the recovery of thermoregulatory responses including sweating. Our objective is to investigate the effect of water temperature and voluntary drinking on the extent of the drinking-induced sweating. Six healthy subjects 23.7 ± 0.6 yr old and 80.7 ± 5.7 kg wt were dehydra...

Ambient temperature affects glabrous skin vasculature and sweating responses to mental task in humans.

We compared responses in heart rate (HR), mean blood pressure (MAP), sweating rate (SR), sweating expulsion (SwE), and skin vascular conductance (VC) to mental task among different ambient temperature (Ta) conditions, i.e., 12, 16, 20, and 24 degrees C. Seven subjects (27+/-5 yrs, 64+/-14 kg) underwent a 2-min color word conflict test (CWT) after 2 mins of baseline data acquisition following a ...

Ambient temperature modulates hypoxic-induced changes in rat body temperature and activity differentially.

When rats, acclimated to an ambient temperature (T(a)) of 29 degrees C, are exposed to 10% O(2) for 63 h, the circadian rhythms of body temperature (T(b)) and level of activity (L(a)) are abolished, T(b) falls to a hypothermic nadir followed by a climb to a hyperthermic peak, L(a) remains depressed (Bishop B, Silva G, Krasney J, Salloum A, Roberts A, Nakano H, Shucard D, Rifkin D, and Farkas G....
