by bacterial endotoxins,
rapid and dangerous fevers.
Some examples of pyrogens are bacterial endotoxins, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, and certain viral and fungal components. These substances can induce fever by activating immune cells to release cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), which then act on the hypothalamus to raise body temperature.

What are some examples of Phenol
Pyrogens: A chemical circulating in the blood that causes a rise in body temperature.
what is biodiversity give some examples
A substance that produces a fever. The hypothalamus senses temperature changes, a thermoreceptors. And a hypothalamic "thermostat" sends signals to increase or decrease temperature. Pyrogens are chemicals that increase the hypothalamic temperature setpoint. And therefore permit fever. some bacterial toxins produce Pyrogens so we get fever when we have bacterial infection.
Pyrogens
circulating proteins called Pyrogens can reset this themostat and raise body temperature "fever"
No. Pyrogens act by increasing the temperature, but they do not change the set point in the thalamus.
inhibit bacterial growth
Pyrogens that are destroyed by heat.
No
they reduce fever

Pyrogens
Microorganisms, including bacteria and parasites, can produce chemical poisons. Both the microorganism and the poisons cause the white blood cells (called monocytes) to produce substances called pyrogens. It's the pyrogens that actually cause fever. The body produces pyrogens in response to infection, inflammation, cancer, or an allergy. The word pancreatitis literally means inflammation or infection of the pancreas so your body's natural response to send those pyrogens after it thus causing fever.
