The temperatures of the left testis, and of the adjacent viscera, of 11 anaesthetized quail were measured. The testes averaged 0.6 degrees C cooler than the surrounding viscera and 1.3 degrees C cooler than the fight muscle. We suggest that endothermic reactions are the cause of the testicular temperature being below that of its immediate surroundings.
测量了11只麻醉鹌鹑的左侧睾丸以及相邻内脏的温度。睾丸平均比周围内脏低0.6摄氏度，比胸肌低1.3摄氏度。我们认为吸热反应是睾丸温度低于其紧邻周围环境温度的原因。
