  2. Lactulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactulose

    Lactulose is not normally present in raw milk, but is a product of heat processes: [27] the greater the heat, the greater amount of this substance (from 3.5 mg/L in low-temperature pasteurized milk to 744 mg/L in in-container sterilized milk). [28] Lactulose is produced commercially by isomerization of lactose. A variety of reaction conditions ...

  3. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [1] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid.

  4. Excretory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excretory_system

    In humans and other amniotes (mammals, birds and reptiles), most of these substances leave the body as urine and to some degree exhalation, mammals also expel them through sweating. Only the organs specifically used for the excretion are considered a part of the excretory system. In the narrow sense, the term refers to the urinary system ...

  5. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    The human body always works to remain in homeostasis. One form of homeostasis is thermoregulation. Body temperature varies in every individual, but the average internal temperature is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F). [1] Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate.

  6. Thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation

    In humans, a diurnal variation has been observed dependent on the periods of rest and activity, lowest at 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. and peaking at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monkeys also have a well-marked and regular diurnal variation of body temperature that follows periods of rest and activity, and is not dependent on the incidence of day and night ...

  7. 'Feels like' temperature: What does it really mean and how ...

    www.aol.com/feels-temperature-does-really-mean...

    This "feels like" temperature, generally, is a more accurate description of what the human body will experience when stepping outside. If that's the case, why does actual temperature even matter then?

  8. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    Normal human body temperature varies slightly from person to person and by the time of day. Consequently, each type of measurement has a range of normal temperatures. The range for normal human body temperatures, taken orally, is 36.8 ± 0.5 °C (98.2 ± 0.9 °F). [12]

  9. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    The toxicity of ammonia solutions does not usually cause problems for humans and other mammals, as a specific mechanism exists to prevent its build-up in the bloodstream. Ammonia is converted to carbamoyl phosphate by the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase , and then enters the urea cycle to be either incorporated into amino acids or ...
