Abstract:While hematopoiesis in individuals is strictly regulated for maintenance of homeostasis, it has been reported that the numbers of peripheral blood cells are modulated in response to environmental temperature in vertebrates including hamsters, rats, squirrels, dogs, and bullfrogs. To date, the physiological and molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Amphibians are poikilothermic vertebrates exposed to various fluctuations of environmental conditions; therefore they need to exert their capacities to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
