Abstract excerpt
The circadian rhythm of the body core temperature (T(c)) and the effects of changes in ambient temperatures on the homeostasis of T(c) in Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, which are naturally occurring cholecystokinin (CCK)-A receptor (CCK-AR) gene knockout (-/-) rats, were examined. In addition, the peripheral responses to warming or cooling of the preoptic and anterior hypothalamic region (PO/AH)...
