Research Abstract |
Dehydration is a factor deteriorating autonomic thermoregulatory responses, which could induce heat stroke. However, the central mechanism remains unclear yet. Moreover, we do not know about the influence of dehydration on behavioral thermoregulation. In the present study, we clarified that the median preoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus is important as the receptor site of plasma osmolality, and it suppresses thermal reception of the median preoptic nucleus(thermal reception site in the central). The heat escape/cold seeking behavior in mice is suppressed in the condition of dehydration, and thermal sensation to heat was also decreased in dehydrated humans. These results indicate a possible mechanism involved in heat stroke.
