  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    An individual's body temperature typically changes by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) between its highest and lowest points each day. [15] Body temperature is sensitive to many hormones, so women have a temperature rhythm that varies with the menstrual cycle, called a circamensal rhythm. [11] [unreliable medical source?

  3. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  4. Vital signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_signs

    Most have a normal body temperature set point that falls within the range of 36.0 to 37.5 °C (96.8 to 99.5 °F). [13] The main reason for checking body temperature is to solicit any signs of systemic infection or inflammation in the presence of a fever. Fever is considered temperature of 37.8 °C (100.0 °F) or above. [13]

  6. Sodium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrate

    Processed meats have no fiber, vitamins, or phytochemical antioxidants, are high in sodium, may contain high fat, and are often fried or cooked at a temperature sufficient to degrade protein into nitrosamines. Nitrates are key intermediates and effectors in the primary vasculature signaling which is necessary for all mammals to survive. [21]

  7. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

    The nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway elevates nitric oxide through the sequential reduction of dietary nitrate derived from plant-based foods. [13] Nitrate-rich vegetables, in particular leafy greens, such as spinach and arugula , and beetroot , have been shown to increase cardioprotective levels of nitric oxide with a corresponding ...

  8. Heat exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exhaustion

    Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness characterized by the body's inability to effectively cool itself, typically occurring in high ambient temperatures or during intense physical exertion. In heat exhaustion, core body temperature ranges from 37 °C to 40 °C (98.6 °F to 104 °F).

  9. Heat illness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_illness

    Heat illness is a spectrum of disorders due to increased body temperature. It can be caused by either environmental conditions or by exertion.It includes minor conditions such as heat cramps, heat syncope, and heat exhaustion as well as the more severe condition known as heat stroke. [1]
