The 33 pages that link to Fever, each with the reason it gives.

• InflammationRelated: Inflammatory signals can reset the brain’s temperature regulation and produce fever.

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugRelated: NSAIDs can lower fever by reducing prostaglandin signaling in the brain.

• CytokineRelated: Some cytokines signal the brain to raise the body's temperature set point.

• CyclooxygenaseRelated: Prostaglandin E2 generated during inflammation helps raise the hypothalamic set point.

• ProstaglandinRelated: Prostaglandin E2 in the brain helps raise the body's temperature set point.

• AcetaminophenRelated: Acetaminophen lowers fever by acting on temperature-regulating pathways rather than treating its cause.

• EicosanoidRelated: Prostaglandin E2 helps transmit inflammatory signals that raise the temperature set point.

• IbuprofenRelated: Ibuprofen lowers fever by reducing prostaglandin signaling involved in the hypothalamic temperature response.

• ParacetamolRelated: Reducing fever is one of paracetamol’s main uses, although it does not treat the underlying cause.

• Interleukin 6Related: IL-6 contributes to fever by promoting prostaglandin signaling in the brain.

• Tumor necrosis factorRelated: TNF can promote fever by stimulating inflammatory signals that act on the brain.

• HomeothermyRelated: Fever changes the defended temperature rather than simply defeating temperature regulation.

• ThermogenesisRelated: Fever can prompt shivering and metabolic heat production while the set point is rising.

• AntipyreticRelated: Antipyretics lower the elevated temperature set point that sustains fever.

• EndotoxinRelated: Endotoxin-induced cytokines can reset temperature regulation and produce fever.

• ShiveringRelated: The raised set point can provoke shivering while body temperature is climbing.

• Sinus tachycardiaRelated: Higher temperature commonly increases sinoatrial-node firing.

• TachycardiaRelated: Fever commonly raises the heart rate through sinus tachycardia.

• MetamizoleRelated: Metamizole can lower fever when other antipyretics are unsuitable or insufficient.

• Julius Wagner-JaureggRelated: Wagner-Jauregg reasoned that fever might suppress the disease causing progressive paralysis.
