Question
Hello,
i was disappointed, when u responded to my last question by saying that "i dont do home work questions".

i am currently doing a small research to utilise heat energy produced by tissues. That is why i asked about ways in which i can artificially increase body temperature, especially in mice(which is my research specimen). I am doing it for a science fair. I read that thyroxine has some effect. DO u know about more effective ways?

Answer
Sorry vishnu; I do not recall this particular question but from what you wrote I do not consider this homework. I constantly get a lot of multiple choice questions that are obviously attempts to have me do homework assignments. Allexperts gives me a nimber of reponses to use and I maust have inadvertently hit the homework one.  Since i have responded to almost 6000 questions this is quite possible.
 It would seem to me that increasing the metabolic rate in a mouse is the logical way to increase heat production and throid hormone would certainly do that.  I know of no other chemical ways to do so.
