Summary

The level of induced cold tolerance was directly related to the length of the heat shock up to a 5-hour heat shock at which point cold tolerance reached a maximum level. This phenomenon was found to be reversible in that sufficiently long interruptions at 37 deg C between the heat shock and hypothermic exposure resulted in a loss of this cold-tolerant state. Heat shock proteins may be involved in the mechanism.
