Body temperature was maintained at approximately 37[degrees]C by a homeothermic blanket system. It just says that the brain is not as homeothermic as we think. Although our experiments on frogs have all been conducted at room temperature (near the high end of the normal range of temperatures for free-ranging bullfrogs) and we traumatized equally both limbs of each animal and statistically compared treated limbs with untreated limbs, bullfrogs are poikilotherms (cold-blooded) and may therefore respond differently from homeothermic (warm-blooded) mammals to trauma and to treatment. |
