ABSTRACTFever is a regulated re‐setting of body temperature, rather than a failure of control. Opinion has fluctuated for centuries between regarding it as a favourable response to disease or as an adverse effect. Some of the mechanisms of fever have been defined and thus the mode of action of antipyretic drugs can be explained. It has also become clear that fever has a longer evolutionary history than ‘warm bloodedness’, thus it is hard to imagine the perpetuation of such an ancient and widespread response unless its effects were beneficial. Only recently, however, has the nature of these benefits begun to be establ

摘要:

ABSTRACTTwo juvenile (9 months) and two adult (3 years) beagle bitches were injected with five doses (250 i.u. per dose) of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) on alternate days. Plasma oestrogen concentrations rose in all bitches. In one adult bitch plasma progesterone concentrations remained basal and no signs of oestrus were shown; in the other there was a slight elevation of circulating progesterone values and she showed oestrus but did not conceive. Both the young bitches came into heat and had multiple ovulations, producing very high plasma progesterone concentrations. One of them conceived, and at laparotomy on the thirty‐sixth day after the first mating seventeen conceptuses were seen; 14 days later ovarohysterectomy was performed and only five foetuses remained in the uteru
