Effects of oral glycine during cold exposure in man

William R. Beavers 1 and Benjamin G. Covino 1

1 Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory, APO 731, Seattle, Washington

Six male human subjects were given 30 gm oral glycine. Oxygen consumption, skin and rectal temperatures, and forefinger blood flows were measured during an interval in a warm room and then during 75 minutes cold exposure (0°F). The same subjects receiving 30 gm glucose served as controls. Glycine increased heat production at rest in a warm room and also during cold exposure. The subjects when receiving glycine had a slightly higher rectal temperature and higher skin temperatures in areas other than fingers during the cold exposure period.
