Fig. 3. Comparison of the relationships between Tcarotid,
Tbrain and calculated cerebral blood flow (CBF) in
pronghorn in the summer (A) and in winter (B) and in summer in horses (C). In
winter the pronghorn temperature profiles are more similar to those in the
horse than they are to pronghorn in summer. CBF above the upper maximum CBF
(pink) or below the minimum (yellow) occur in pronghorn in the summer, rarely
in the winter, and not in horses. In winter, most temperature gradients
between Tbrain and Tcarotid in
pronghorn and all gradients in horses can be achieved by changes in CBF. In
summer, low and high gradients depend on SBC or brain warming. Summer
pronghorn data are from Lust et al. (Lust
et al., 2007). Horse data are from Mitchell et al.
(Mitchell et al., 2006).
