Induced rewarming by central stimulation in hypothermic hamsters. 1985

G E Resch, and C W Simpson

Helium-cold hypothermic hamsters, colonic temperature (Tc) 7 to 11 degrees C, injected with acetylcholine (ACH) at a preoptic-anterior hypothalamic (AHPOA) site responded with a rise in colonic temperature while remaining in a cold environmental chamber. The He-Cold hamster does not thermoregulate at these body temperatures. In contrast to central ACH-elicited responses, the injection of alpha and beta adrenergic drugs into the systemic circulation of the He-Cold hamster did not elicit a rise in colonic temperature. The data describe a different animal model of rewarming than has previously been described that is under pharmacologic control by the experimenter. The use of exogenous neurotransmitter provides the potential to understand the mechanisms of thermoregulation in deep experimental hypothermia.

D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster
D006371 Helium A noble gas with the atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.003. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is not combustible and does not support combustion. It was first detected in the sun and is now obtained from natural gas. Medically it is used as a diluent for other gases, being especially useful with oxygen in the treatment of certain cases of respiratory obstruction, and as a vehicle for general anesthetics.
