| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effect of changes in environmental temperature at the onset of life on the body temperature in mice. As a result, body temperature of mature male mice derived from fertilized ovum incubated at 38℃ for 4 days was significantly smaller than that from the ovum incubated at 37℃. Alterations in the transcriptions of multiple genes were observed in the hypothalamus (thermoregulatory center) of 38℃ group of mice. The present results suggest that the intrauterine environmental temperature exerts some effects on the expressions of multiple genes localized in the hypothalamus of mouse embrios, thereby affecting on the body temperature after they grow up.
