Cold acclimation increases insulin sensitivity, and some level of muscle contraction appears to be needed for provoking this effect. Here 15 men and (postmenopausal) women with overweight or obesity, the majority of whom had impaired glucose tolerance, were intermittently exposed to cold to induce 1 h of shivering per day over 10 days. We determined the effect of cold acclimation with shivering on overnight fasted oral glucose tolerance (primary outcome) and on skeletal muscle glucose transporter 4 translocation (secondary outcome).

Focal seizures, characterized by excessive electrical excitation in a brain region, present diagnostic challenges due to diverse manifestations, particularly with non-motor symptoms. Here, we present a 69-year-old Japanese woman experiencing unexplained recurrent episodes of sweating, chills, and shivering. Despite exhaustive investigations that identified no abnormalities, her symptoms remained unalleviated by symptomatic treatments.

Divers are at enhanced risk of hypothermia, due to the independent action of the inspired inert gases on thermoregulation. Thus, narcosis induced by acute (≤2 h) exposure to either hyperbaric nitrogen or normobaric nitrous oxide (NO) impairs shivering thermogenesis and accelerates body core cooling. Animal-based studies, however, have indicated that repeated and sustained NO administration may prevent NO-evoked hypometabolism.

Short-term cold exposure (<1 h) may adversely affect human thermal comfort and health. Few studies have investigated the effectiveness of body heating in providing thermal protection to the torso against sharp temperature decreases, as well as the optimal operation modes of torso heating equipment. In this study, 12 male subjects were acclimatised in a room at 20 °C, then exposed to a cold environment at -2.
