Temperature response of tube-fed rats

C. L. Hamilton 1 and John R. Brobeck 1

1 Veterans Administration Hospital, Coatesville; and Department of Physiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Colonic temperatures of rats were recorded for periods of 3.5–5 hr after tube feeding at three ambient temperatures. At a neutral temperature (24 C) fall in body temperature was inversely related to calories intubated. In heat (32 C and 38 C) there was a direct relationship between calories intubated and body temperature. At 38 C mortality rate was a direct function of calories.
