Thermoregulation in man during cold adaptation.
Permanent residence in a cold environment affects the thermoregulatory system and other related functions (Table 5). These changes are adaptive because they decrease the stress action of cold, maintain the energy cost of temperature homeostasis and make it possible to receive additional heat during muscular work in cold without drawing on such heat production sources as shivering.
