Research Abstract	The purpose of present study was to clarify the role of neurotransmitters in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) and posterior hypothalamus (PH) on thermoregulatory system. We showed that the DMH and the PH regulated heat production system under cold environment and the noradrenaline in the DMH and dopamine in the PH were majorneurotransmitters which regulates heat production system.
