title: Thermal regulation in Macaca mulatta during space flight.
abstract: The results of studies of body temperature and thermal regulation in Macaca mulatta flown on biosatellites Bion 6-11 are presented. The effect of microgravity on deep body temperature as compared to skin temperature was investigated.  In most animals, deep body temperature declined moderately and then tended to return to normal. Brain temperature/ankle temperature correlation changed.  The system of thermal regulation was found to function adequately in space.
