Body Temperature

Body temperature is one of the vital signs of human beings. Temperature is recorded to check for fever (pyrexia or febrile condition), or to monitor the degree of hypothermia. Normal human body temperature is 37 degrees Centigrade or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

The body converts sugar into CO2 and H2O at body temperature Why are much higher temperatures required for the same conversion in the laboratory?

The body uses enzymes which provide an alternate pathway of lessor activation energy than that of the pure decomposition of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. Thus these enzymes are in a sense catalysts in the reaction

Body temperature drops when someone has gotten swine flu. The virus causes a spike in fever and a sudden drop -hypothermia - which results in chills. The sudden drop requires outside measures to return the body temperature to rise to normal.

How do you increase your body temperature?

Thanks. I was not specific enough in my question. If one has a consistently low body temp even while living an active life and having healthy eating habits. Is there an ongoing remedy that might raise the body's temp at rest in normal room temperature. (Whoops - Sorry I don't know) You may have a condition called Wilson's Low Temperature Syndrome. My new doctor just diagnosed me with it. I am very physically active and have very healthy eating habits. I have had a consistently low temperature (often in the low 97's, sometimes in the 96 range) for over ten years. Everytime I asked my doctors about it they said there was nothing wrong. Even if I had a fever with chills and flu symptoms, my temp was still below 98.6 degrees! I was fine for a long time, then my skin started getting really dry, eyebrows started thinning, muscle cramps, waking up several times a night, anxiety/depression swings, carpal tunnel syndrome (with no apparent reason) and sudden, unusual weight gain (20 pounds in a month!) in spite of regular physical activity, and food diaries and counting calories. Low Temperature Syndrome is indicative of thyroid system problems and an unstable T3 count. The "regular" TSH screenings showed there was no thyroid problem, I had to have the T3 test. Apparently, thyroid tests don't always reveal thyroid problems. My doctor put me on Armour Thyroid which is natural, because it has both T3 and T4. Within six weeks my carpal tunnel symptoms are mostly gone, and I feel more energetic. My mood has definitely improved. My temperature is now upper 97's and low 98's. There's a website devoted to Low Temperature Syndrome.

Can ammonia spirits reduce body temperature?

The older I get the hotter (temperature wise) I get. I am in sales, and used to do a lot of presentations in front of large groups of professionals. Now I get way to hot to get in from of people... in fact, I start dripping of sweat in slightly stressful situations, or after a little physical effort (walking up a couple flights of stairs. I sweat in my sleep, but at times during the day, it looks like I fell in the pool. What is the deal? How do I cool down. I am 42 years old, and my weight is 190 pounds at 6'3", so I'm not fat. This is becoming very embarrassing. Please help me. - Jeff hongkongbuckeye@gmail.com

Shivering to try to raise your body temperature back to normal would be an example of?

Homeostasis.

The body tries to maintain a certain body temperature to continue it's metabolic reactions.

Shivering to get warm is an example of homeostasis. This is because shivering causes heat to be generated from the movement and friction. "Goose bumps" and sweat are also examples of homeostasis.

How do you get valuim out of your body?

Valium belongs to the class of benzodiazepine sedative used for treating anxiety. It is the longest acting drug in the class. It is converted in the body to another chemical which is actually the active drug.

It is made more water soluble by the liver and then excreted through the kidneys. 98% of it sticks to proteins in the blood (ie albumin) and only the 2% in solution is active, so you have to take a lot of the drug to get an effect, then there is a large quantity of inactive drug sticking to the proteins. It may take two weeks taking the pill every day before the drug reaches its maximum effect. This delayed effect can be a problem, especially in elderly patients.

It is released slowly from the proteins. It has a half-life of 20 to 70 hours. This is a wide range because liver function varies between individuals and tends to decline with age. That means that if you stop taking the drug, the amount in the blood will drop to half in 20-70 hours. For example, in an older person the half-life is about 72 hours or 3 days and it will take 3 days to get to half the level, 6 days to get to 1/4th the level and 9 days to get down to 1/8th.

What can you do to accelerate this process? Not much. You could take or eat something else that sticks to blood proteins such as aspirin. This would bump some of the Valium off the proteins and increase blood levels. That would increase its rate of excretion by the kidneys, but the higher blood level would make the drug more active so I would not recommend it. You are better just to wait for your body to do its own thing slowly! Drinking more does not alter the rate of excretion by the kidneys (glomerular filtration rate is not affected by drinking more).
