A unifying theory for the functional architecture of endothermic thermoregulation

Andreas D Flouris. Temperature (Austin). .

Abstract

Developing a unifying theory for the functional architecture of endothermic thermoregulation has been proven to be a challenging endeavor. Three papers published in this issue of Temperature take a closer look at this problem and add interesting views to our knowledge about the way that endothermic thermoregulation works.

Keywords: calorimetry; comparator; heat regulation; homeostasis; nitrous oxide; null zone; set point; thermoeffector responses; thermoregulatory threshold.
