Abstract
The state of muscular heat production 2–3 weeks after intravenous injection of noradrenalin was studied during exposure to cold. A single injection of noradrenalin was found to facilitate maintenance of temperature homeostasis for several weeks with a greatly reduced electrical activity of the muscles and before the noradrenalin was given. The phenomenon probably lies at the basis of adaptation of animals to cold.
