MARC recordHuman physiological adaptations to the Arctic climate / Juhani Leppäluoto, Juhani Hassi.
| Title: | Human physiological adaptations to the Arctic climate / Juhani Leppäluoto, Juhani Hassi. |
| Author(s): | Leppäluoto, Juhani. Hassi, Juhani. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Arctic. (1991.), Vol. 44(2) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Reviews thermal, metabolic and hormonal responses of Australian aborigines, Arctic Indians, nomadic Saami, Inuit and cold-exposed Norwegians to natural or experimental acclimation. Native peoples exhibit less pronounced shivering and experience greater fall in body temperature. Modern Caucasians may develop hypothermic and insulative types of adaptation. Blood pressure increases, perhaps contributing to greater mortality due to cardiovascular diseases and stroke in winter. Secretion of pineal hormone melatonin is elevated during winter and leads to higher conception rate in spring and summer. |
| Notes: | Arctic. Vol. 44(2) :139-145 (1991). |
