[Mechanisms of adaptation to cold in man and animals].
The paper presents the results of studies of metabolic processes in the Arctic and Antarctic winters, members of Polar expeditions, and inhabitants of the Far North. There is a relationship between the metabolism and the length of residence in the area of low temperatures, lifestyle, and occupation. The experiments have shown changes in the phosphorylizing activity of rat hepatic mitochondria in the dynamics of cold adaptation in animals. In addition to the hormonal status and antioxidative system, serum lipoproteins were found to determine the response of the body to cold exposure. The regulatory role of the lipoprotein components apoproteins is discussed in the paper.
