Hypothermia/cold stress is due to a disturbance in the net regulation of heat production and heat loss that can result from defective homeostatic regulation‚ reduced metabolism (e.g.‚ diminished cellular metabolism) or increased loss from exposure to extreme cold. (31) Exposure to cold stimulates the hypothalamus through afferent fibers of cold receptors and via cold circulating blood. Hypothalamic
