A study of the thermogenic effect of ethanol in the hypothermic rat. 1981

M F James, and A A van den Berg, and N A French, and J F White

1. The hypothesis that ethanol may exert a thermogenic effect in cold environments was studied by infusing ethanol, dextrose or saline into hypothermic rats and observing the rate of rewarming in each group. 2. No difference was found in the rate of heat gain in any of the three groups.
