Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by hyperthermia and multi-organ dysfunction, often associated with intestinal barrier disruption. This study evaluated the protective effects of Huoxiang Zhengqi Dropping Pills (HXZQD) against EHS in a rat model. HXZQD was administered via oral gavage at low, medium, and high doses, followed by EHS induction through exercise under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions.

This study investigates the protective effects of resveratrol (RSV) against heat stress (HS)-induced testicular injury in rats. Climate change has exacerbated heat stress, particularly affecting male fertility by impairing testicular function and sexual behavior. A total of 32 rats were allocated into four experimental groups: control, RSV control, HS control, and RSV + HS.

Positive affect promotes mental health and physical well-being, which may involve modifications in the autonomic nervous system activity. Here, we examine, using chemogenetic techniques, the effects of nucleus accumbens (NAc) activation on affect and body temperature regulation as a proxy of autonomic function. A conditioned place preference test revealed that nucleus accumbens activation induced positive affect.

Anxiety is a severe social problem. It is a disease entity that occurs alone or accompanies other diseases such as depression, phobia, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Our earlier studies demonstrated that blockage of arachidonic acid (AA) pathway via inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme can modulate mGluRs-induced anxiety-like behavior.

Brain temperature is strictly regulated by various endogenous mechanisms and significantly contributes to brain function in homeothermic animals, making it an important factor for health. Thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels convert temperature information into electrical signals through cation influx. In particular, TRPV4 is involved in the regulation of brain function.
