A relationship between thermoregulation, metabolism, and the host response to infections has long been appreciated. In this study, Ganeshan and colleagues discover that the immune system regulates body temperature as a strategy to regulate metabolic rate, which in turn promotes tolerance to inflammatory damage.
体温调节、新陈代谢和宿主对感染的反应之间的关系早已被人们所认识。在这项研究中,Ganeshan 及其同事发现,免疫系统调节体温是一种调节代谢率的策略,而代谢率的调节又反过来促进了对炎症损伤的耐受。
