Thermoregulatory clothing with temperature-adaptive multimodal body heat regulation

Cocaine alters body temperature and behavioral thermoregulatory responses.

This study examined the effects of cocaine HCl and ambient temperature on the core body temperature of the rat. To further examine the mechanisms of cocaine-induced changes in temperature regulation, the effects of cocaine on behavioral thermoregulatory responses were also observed. At normal room temperature (20 degrees C) cocaine produced a reduction in core body temperature. At a higher ambi...

Thermoregulatory Mechanisms of Jersey Adult Cattle and Calves Based on Different Body Sites Temperature

In this experiment six healthy adult dairy Jersey cattles and eight calves (aged 4-6 months) were selected to measure temperature of different body skin sites, rectal temperature, respiration and heart rates during summer and winter. Body sites maximum and minimum temperature in calves during summer belonged to the ear, forehead, right flank, abdomen (38.4-38.9 ˚C) and carpus (32 ˚C). This was ...

Physiology of Heat Regulation and the Science of Clothing

Effects of clothing ventilation openings on thermoregulatory responses during exercise

The effect of clothing openings on thermoregulatory responses of wearers during a treadmill exercise in controlled laboratory conditions has been studied. Nine short sleeved T-shirts with varying design of clothing openings at neck and hem have been designed, and the test is performed on six males, considering 10min of standing rest, 30min of running at 55% of VO2max followed by 10min of rest. ...

Body temperature regulation in diabetes

The effects of type 1 and type 2 diabetes on the body's physiological response to thermal stress is a relatively new topic in research. Diabetes tends to place individuals at greater risk for heat-related illness during heat waves and physical activity due to an impaired capacity to dissipate heat. Specifically, individuals with diabetes have been reported to have lower skin blood flow and swea...
