Several pharmacological, dietary, and genetic interventions that increase mammalian
lifespan are known, but general principles of lifespan extension remain unclear. Here, we …

Naked mole-rats are among the most hypoxia-tolerant mammals. During hypoxia, their body
temperature (T b) decreases via unknown mechanisms to conserve energy. In small …

Fever is a cardinal symptom of infectious or inflammatory insults, but it can also arise from
noninfectious causes. The fever-inducing agent that has been used most frequently in …

Few environmental factors have a larger influence on animal energetics than temperature, a
fact that makes thermoregulation a very important process for survival. In general …

The thermal dependence of biochemical reaction rates means that many animals regulate
their body temperature so that fluctuations in body temperature are small compared to …

Much recent theoretical and empirical work has sought to describe the physiological
mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance in animals. Leading hypotheses can be broadly …

In cold‐temperate climates, overwintering aquatic ranid frogs must survive prolonged
periods of low temperature, often accompanied by low levels of dissolved oxygen. They …

Systemic inflammation (SI) is a leading cause of hospital death. Although fever and
hypothermia are listed as symptoms in every definition of SI, how SI affects thermoregulatory …
