  • Title: [The bioenergetic mechanisms of homeothermy].
    Author: Ivanov KP.
    Journal: Zh Obshch Biol; 1990; 51(1):36-53. PubMed ID: 2191516.
    Abstract:
    A number of experiments on isolated muscles and animals allowed to conclude that the amount of energetic expenditures and heat production per 1 unit of muscular work (or power) was not a biological constant as proposed by A. Hill. This value can be changed in the organism, and this allows to increase heat production and homoiotermy in certain environment. The work/heat production ratio was shown to be regulated for all kinds of biological work in organism. The data obtained and the calculations change our notions of energetics and of principles of homoiothermy.
