✦ Synopsis


At ambient temperatures greater than 4 0 Β°C , rats must spread saliva on themselves to prevent lethal hyperthermia. This study examined the effect of other behavioral parameters on a rat's ability to thermoregulate. The animals were exposed to 4 2 Β°C in a cylindrical wire cage; records of time spent saliva spreading and moving about the cage were made; and body temperatures were measured with thermocouples implanted in the animals' abdominal cavities. Very little time spent saliva spreading was necessary for a n animal to become thoroughly wetted on its ventral surface. Once wetted, a n animal's thermoregulatory ability depended on its amount of locomotion. Animals which spent a considerable amount of time climbing about the cage
