Summary
Experiments on albino rats regularly exposed over a period of 6 months to temperatures from 38 to 40°C for 5–6 h daily or from 7 to 8°C for 5–6 h every other day showed the process of acclimatization to such intermittent temperature conditions and certain reactions accompanying this process.
