[Temperature measurements in Wistar rats and DS carcinosarcoma under various conditions]

Temperature measurements on Wistar rats with miniature-Hg-thermometer and laser-welded thermoelements lead to the following conclusions: 1. No change of temperature-profile, especially in the liver through glucose-infusion and hyperthermia, can be noticed. 2. Glucose-infusion causes hyperthermia of about 1.5 degrees C. 3. The temperature of the subcutaneous growing DS- carcinosarcoma lies under the norm and increases with the distance from the surface of the body. 4. Hyperthermia of 3 degrees C has no influence on tumor over-acidification. 5. The substance CEU has no pyrogenic effect on the rat but potentiates the decrease of the body-temperature caused by narcosis.
