“Man is a homeotherm, meaning that body temperature is kept within narrow limits by complex control mechanisms.”

“This mode of thermoregulation, that can neither be classified as homeothermy or poikilothermy, has been called gigantothermy.”

“A spectrum of degrees of homeothermy and heterothermy probably will be discovered.”

“The advantages of endothermic homeothermy are seen in the wide range of habitats occupied by mammals, wider than for any other group of animals of similar diversity.”

“Terrestrial homeotherms have evolved five major solutions to deal with these threats and the stress axis plays a role in some of these.”

“Also, there are large mammals which are endotherms, not inertial homeotherms.”

“In addition to sequence length, differences between homeotherms and poikilotherms occur at positions 373 and 400, respectively.”
