Diurnal responses of mammals to acute exposure to a hyperdynamic environment

Acute exposure to hyperdynamic environments elicits significant depressions in core temperature in both diurnal squirrel monkeys and nocturnal rats. This study describes time of day variations in core temperature responses in squirrel monkeys and rats exposed for 70 min to a hyperdynamic environment (2 g) produced via centrifugation. Experiments were performed during the middle of the light or dark phase. After a 70-min control period, squirrel monkey resting core temperature was 38.6 +/- 0.2 (SE) and 36.8 +/- 0.2 degrees C during the day and night, respectively. At the end of a 7-min exposure to 2 g, squirrel monkey core temperature decreased 1.3 +/- 0.2 degree C during the day but remained a constant 36.8 +/- 0.4 degrees C at night. Core temperature of rats exposed to an identical 70-min 2 g profile decreased 1.5 +/- 0.4 degree C from a resting 37.1 +/- 0.6 degrees C during the day and 2.3 +/- 0.2 degrees C from a resting 37.8 +/- 0.3 degrees C at night. Thus, in both species, there were clear day-night differences in response to hyperdynamic environments, with the greatest fall in core temperature occurring during the animal's active period.
