“…After acclimatization (reduced T r response to heat), basal insulin levels increased, glucose decreased, and both insulin and Cortisol showed highly significant increases in response to heat exposure. Changes in Cortisol levels support the results of Chowers, Conforti and Superstine (1975) suggesting an adaptive role of glucocorticoids in heat regulation, and confirm our earlier contention (Krausz, Marder andEylath 1977, 1978) that thermoregulatory responses involve changes in the pattern of utilization of energy sources by the body, possibly involving changes in the sensitivities of the pancreatic islets and the adrenal cortex.…”

Plasma Cortisol levels have been shown to increase during exposure to high temperatures (Collins, Few, Forward and Giec 1969). Growth hormone has been shown to increase (Okada, Matsuoka and Kumahara 1972) or to decrease (Mueller, Chen, Dibbet, Chen and Meites 1974). We have previously found a decrease in serum glucose levels during heat exposure in dogs (Krausz, Marder and Eylath 1977, 1978) and were interested in following glucose and hormo
