Abstract
The mean QO2 values at 39[degree] C for cerebral cortex slices from normal rabbits and from rabbits with fever produced by admn. of typhoid-paratyphoid vaccine were 8.76 and 8.58, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. The mean Q[image] values at 39[degree] C for cerebral cortex slices from normal and febrile rabbits were 12.58 and 12.27, respectively, again the difference being not statistically significant. If alteration in the rate of a key metabolic process in the cells of the temp.-regulating centers is responsible for the high temp. in fever, such alteration does not affect either anaerobic glycolysis or respiration of brain tissue slices.
