[Dynamics of the heat exchange in rats upon getting out of the state of artificial deep hypothermia].
With the help of thermometry and general calorimetry the changes in the heat exchange were determined in the rats upon their getting out of artificial deep hypothermia (the temperature in the rectum was 20 degrees C) at the temperature in the calorimeter chamber 20 degrees C. An attempt was made to find out what part of the heat production during an animal self-warming is used for increasing its body temperature and what part of the heat production is released to the environment by the animal. The experiments revealed a complex relationship between the body temperature, the heat loss, and the total heat production during the animal selfwarming. The total heat production first increased and, after reaching the maximum, decreased gradually. Moreover, the experiments showed that during three and more hours of observation the body temperature did not reach the initial level, the same was true for the total heat production, which in these experiments was the sum of the heat loss and the production spent for warming the animal body.
