Zusammenfassung

Die optimale Funktionsfähigkeit des menschlichen Körpers setzt u.a. die Homöothermie voraus, die über hypothalamische Regelzentren gesteuert wird. Die physiologischen Temperaturgrenzen sind extrem eng und liegen zwischen 36,5 und 37 °C (Petersdorf 1991; Jelkmann 2000). Extreme Veränderungen zwischen 25°C auf der einen Seite und 42–43°C auf der anderen Seite sind zwar mit dem Leben noch vereinbar, führen jedoch zu erheblichen Funktionseinbußen und sind lebensgefährlich. Temperaturen über diese Grenzen hinaus sind - mit Ausnahmen - praktisch immer tödlich (Brinkmann u. Schaefer 1982; Bonlaut 1991).
