Many advances have been made in the field of thermoregulation in
the past few years. These include our understanding of Fever, which
is now considered not simply a rise in deep body temperature
foHowing infection, but just one aspect, though perhaps the most
easily measured, of the Acute Phase of the Immune Response.
Classification and identification of the Cytokines and the
availability of recombinant material has greatly aided this
research. Similarly, our understanding of the Hypothalamo-Pituitary
Adrenal Axis has altered our way of thinking about temperature
regulation. Of importance are the problems associated with adverse
climatic conditions and survival, and the problems encountered by
the neonate and the hibernator. At the biochemical level, our
knowledge of the control of heat production and the role of brown
adipose tissue is rapidly advancing. All these issues and many
others were discussed at a Symposium 'Thermal Physiology 1993' held
in Aberdeen, Scotland in August 1993 under the auspices of the
Thermal Physiology Commission of the International Union of
Physiological Sciences. Six main aspects of the subject of
temperature regulation are included in this book, namely, Fever
(including the Acute Phase of the Immune Response and
Thermoregulatory Peptides), Neurophysiology of Thermoregulation,
Neonatal Thermoregulation, Mechanisms of Heat Production,
Ecological and Behavioural Thermoregulation, and Emerging Themes in
Thermoregulation.
