The body temperature of pigeons decreases following the subcutaneous administration of LSD-25. This temperature decrease at 1 hour postinjection shows a straight line relationship to the log of the dose between 1 and 250 µg/kg. Maximal response occurs at 1–2 hours and is followed by a rapid but incomplete recovery toward normal by 4–6 hours. Successive daily injections for 2 days show that no refractoriness develops to this compound within this time period. Simultaneously with the temperature response, the oxygen consumption and heart rate decrease while the breathing rate increases greatly. The temperature decrease is due, therefore, to both reduced heat production and increased heat loss.

The stress-induced hyperthermia (SIH) response is the transient change in body temperature in response to acute stress. This body temperature response is part of the autonomic stress response which also results in tachycardia and an increased blood pressure. So far, a SIH response has been found in a variety of species (including rodents, baboons, turtles, pigs, impalas and chimpanzees), and there are indications that stress exposure alters body temperature in humans. This review aims to assess the translational potential and the different aspects of the body temperature reaction in response to stress. If stress-induced temperature changes are consistent across species, the SIH paradigm may be employed in preclinical and clinical setups and provide a tool to examine the pharmacological, genetic and mechanistic background of stress at both the preclinical and the clinical level.

Background: Fever, is known as pyrexia, may occur due to infection, inflammation, or any tissue damage and disease states. Normally, the infected or damaged tissue initiates the enhanced formation of pro-inflammatory mediators like cytokines which further increases the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PgE2) near the hypothalamic area and thereby trigger the hypothalamus to elevate the body temperature. Objective: Antipyretics are the agents which reduce the elevated body temperature. The most commonly used antipyretic agent, paracetamol, may be fatal due to its side effects. Methods: In this review paper, Chemical Abstracts, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were the sources for the published article to collect information regarding antipyretic activity. Results: This review compiles the antipyretic plants that may be useful to treat fever due to various diseases. Conclusion: These medicinal plants could be good alternatives for traditional allopathic antipyretics.

In Ayurveda, Jwara is not merely the concept of raised body temperature, but as is said in Charaka Samhita, 'Deha- Indriya- Manah- Santap' is the cardinal symptoms of Jwara. This can be defined as the state where the body, mind as well as sense oragans suffer due to the high temperature. Vishamajwara is a type of fever, which is described in all Ayurvedic texts. Charaka mentioned Vishamajwara and Chakrapani have commented on Vishamajwara as Bhutanubanda, Susruta affirmed that Aagantuchhanubhandohi praysho Vishamajware. Madhavakara has also recognised Vishamajwara as Bhutabhishangajanya (infected by microorganism). Vishamajwara is irregular (inconsistent) in it's Arambha (nature of onset commitment), Kriya (action production of symptoms) and Kala (time of appearance) and possesses Anushanga (persistence for long periods). The treatment of this disease depends upon Vegavastha and Avegavastha of Jwara. Various Shodhana and Shamana procedures are mentioned in classics to treat Visham Jwara.
