Abstract
AbstractRectal temperatures in rabbits were found to increase when hyperosmotic NaCl solution were infused in the marginal earvein, while infusion of CaCl2 caused a fall in rectal temperature. The latter effect was much more pronounced in cold (14° Ta) environment. It could be shown that the ions affected the peripheral circulation and therefore the heat loss. It is concluded that the observed changes in body temperature most likely are secondary to the peripheral changes in heat loss, and not a thermoregulatory change in the set‐point of the hypothalamic centres.
