Abstract
In sum, our results indicate that LPS shock-associated hypothermia involves the following major mechanisms: 1) a decrease in the threshold Tb for activation of cold thermogenesis; 2) the resultant widening of the interthreshold zone; and 3) cold-seeking behavior. We speculate that, in severe systemic inflammation, this hypothermia constitutes an adaptive response.Entities:
