Scientists have implemented a laboratory observation, during which they discovered a unique protein, involved in the regulation of body temperature.
According to doctors, the component called TRPM2 has an impact on hypothalamic neurons.
The researchers argue that during the implementation of the testing staff of the clinical center observed activity of the nerve endings of the brain causing reactions to critical temperature.
It should be noted that after conducting experiments, scientists have identified several proteins responsible for regulation of the temperature of the human body. It was found that TRPC5, and TRPM8 STIM1/ORAI1 are the receptors of cold.
Projects occur in rodents. In the body of animals injected signal molecule, causing a fever. According to scientists, in the future they will be able to study the mechanisms of maintaining body temperature in more detail.
