Abstract

To precise the thyroid hormonal changes (TH) during an acute cold exposure, 8 subjects were subjected to a cold air test (2 h, 1 degrees C nude, at rest) in a climatic chamber before and after a local cold acclimation. After cold acclimation the thyroid hormonal changes could suggest the presence of a "T3 polar syndrome" in laboratory conditions. This syndrome was up to now described only after a stay in natural cold environment.
