Rectal, esophageal, auditory canal, gastrointestinal tract, and sublingual temperature were recorded on five young Caucasian males who, in an environment of -32 degrees C and 11-km/h wind, sat during one 90-min exposure and walked on a treadmill at 2.9 km/h during another. The clothing permitted cooling of their torsos while giving adequate protection to their extremities. Control exposures involved subjects sitting in still air at 24-26 degrees C dressed only in thermal underwear. In the control environment all of the internal body temperatures measured gave comparable and consistent values; however, cold exposure affected the various sites differently. Esophageal temperatures fluctuated rapidly as a result of subjects swallowing cold saliva. Sublingual temperatures were below the lower limit of a clinical thermometer, possibly because of facial cooling. Auditory canal temperatures were low, perhaps also because of facial cooling. Rectal temperatures were high as were the gastrointestinal tract temperatures, due perhaps to local heat production in response to cold stimulation. Metabolic rate increased initially in the cold and again toward the end of the cold exposure. |
