Assessment of hyperthermia in an animal model. (a) Rat rectal temperature before and after heat treatment. Rat rectal temperatures were significantly elevated following 2 h heat exposure at 40 °C. (b) Rat body weight before and after heat stress. Rat body weight was significantly decreased after heat treatment. (c) Mean cortisol concentration in the heat-stressed group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Values represent the mean ± S.E. for n = 6 rats per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 indicate a significant difference for the rats before and after heat stress. #p < 0.01 indicates that the heat-stress group was significantly different from the control group
