Longevity of animals under reactive oxygen species stress and disease susceptibility due to global warming

Figure 3 A proposed energy production system under rise in temperature condition in poikilotherms vs homeotherms. Schematic comparison showing a sustained energy (joule) output between a poikilotherm and homeotherm as a function of core body temperature. The homeotherms have a much higher energy output range but can only function over a very narrow range of body temperatures (30 °C-40 °C in rats). However, poikilotherms have a much lower energy output range but can function over a very wide range of body temperatures (5 °C-40 °C in house lizards). Since, the energy output range is different in different animals, values are not provided in Y-axis[159].
