#body temperature

Pikas can adjust their body temperature by changing their posture.

These two common postures are referred to as “puff” and “lounge.”

A pika is a small, mountain-dwelling mammal native to Asia and North America.

I already have very low cold tolerance so the AC in the summer makes things too cold for me (I don’t know exactly what temperature is comfortable for me)

I’m worried that if I take estrogen my cold tolerance would be even worse to the point that I can’t bear it (or at least have to wear warm clothes all the time)

my body temperature is a bit lower by nature.

Some proteins shift their shape when exposed to different temperatures, revealing previously unknown binding sites for medications, new research has found. The findings, published in Nature, could revolutionize wide swathes of biology by fundamentally changing how protein structure is studied and leveraged for drug design. The study was led by Van Andel Institute's Juan Du, Ph.D., and Wei Lü, Ph.D. Proteins generally are investigated at low temperatures to ensure their stability. However, the new study demonstrates that certain proteins are highly sensitive to temperature and change their shape when viewed at body temperature.

I usually get overheated pretty easily, I become pretty warm to the touch but I will not sweat
