[Radiothermometric research of tissues during the initial reflex period of the specific dynamic action of food]
Abstract:
Radiothermometry-aided investigations have shown that the initial period of specific dynamic food action (SDFA) in man is characterized by a distinct rise of temperature of tissues of some organs. A rise of temperature in liver, intestinal and brown fatty tissues (by 0.5-0.9 degree C) is noted 3-10 min. after taking exploratory food (220 kcal). As has been shown before, a considerable rise of oxygen, consumed by the body, is noted. The results obtained reaffirm the existence of the initial reflectory period of SDFA in man and suggest that the liver, intestine and brown fatty tissue play the role of executive organs in this period.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
