Impaired temperature regulation in rats after anosmia induced peripherally or centrally.
Bilateral olfactory bulbectomy or destruction of the olfactory epithelium of rats resulted in elevated body temperature in room temperature, and lowered water/food ratio in 30 degrees ambient temperature. The results suggest the involvement of the olfactory system in the thermoregulation.
