THE EFFECTS OF GRADUALLY REDUCED TEMPERATURES ON THE GROWTH OF TISSUE CELLS CULTIVATED IN VITRO
Abstract
Temperature plays an important role in the normal growth of living cells, tissues, and organisms and most living things grow best at certain temperatures. It is also common knowledge that most organisms can live only within certain narrow limits of temperatures.That narrow temperature range, within which the life processes of an organism generally occur, has been defined by Belehradek (1935) as the Biokinetic Temperature. Any fluctuation of temperature may be accompanied by chemical, physical and morphological changes within the organism. Belehradek states that biological reactions will be stopped whenever the lower limit of the biokinetic temperature is reached, but that the process can be reversed by heating, if exposure to the low temperature is not too prolonged.
