Feeding and core temperature in albino rats: changes induced by preoptic heating and cooling.

At an ambient temperature of 25 degrees C, selective cooling of the area preoptica medialis to 24 degrees +/- 1 degrees C produced a significant decrease in food intake together with hyperthermia. Heating the same area to 43 degrees +/- 1 degrees C resulted in the opposite effects. At an ambient temperature of 35 degrees C, heating the area preoptica medialis to 43 degrees C resulted in a decrease in food intake despite concomitant hypothermia.

Social interaction and serum insulin values in the monkey (Macaca mulatta).

Social interaction studies were conducted with two groups of rhesus monkeys with abnormally elevated serum insulin values. In both studies, the animals that were lowest on the dominance-submissiveness scale showed a fall in insulin levels to within the normal range for the monkey. Upon removal from the group, insulin values in these animals returned to their previous elevated level. In neither instance was the fall in insulin level accompanied by fasting hyperglycemia.

Public agency collaboration: implementation of the behavioral risk factor survey in adjacent Texas communities.

This article describes a collaborative community survey project between two public agencies serving adjacent urban communities. The main purpose of the collaboration was to establish comparable baseline health risk data for each community. To meet this goal, the agencies jointly administered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System questionnaire in their communities. The collaborative process was manageable and conserved both time and resources. This assessment project exemplifies a collaboration that both public and private healthcare entities can model to help ensure the health of the communities they serve.
