[Deep interscapular temperature and thermogenesis of brown fat during sleep].
Deep interscapular temperature measured just below the brown fat lobes was studied in rats during sleep at two ambient temperatures (24 degrees C and 4 degrees C) before and after adaptation (9 days) to cold (4 degrees C). The results show that in the cold ambient deep interscapular temperature decreases during desynchronized sleep independently of adaptation. Such change in temperature is probably the result of the depression in sympathetic vasoconstrictor influences on heat exchangers producing blood and brown fat cooling in sequence during this stage of sleep.
