Normothermia

Description

Normothermia in endotherms is a state when body core temperature is regulated within standard limits. In humans, normothermia is considered as a body temperature of 36.4 to 37.8 ยฐC. Normothermia, however, has a different definition in the context of ectotherms.

Abbreviation: n.a.

Normothermia: from endotherms to ectotherms

Isolated mitochondria and cells in culture are effectively [[ ectothermic. In either case, the physiological background defines the proper normothermic experimental conditions. Many studies on mammalian mt-preparations have been carried out at 25 ยฐC or 30 ยฐC, which are effectively hypothermic. The normothermic temperature of 37 ยฐC is close to the core temperature of many mammals, but should be increased to a higher temperature for many birds.
