The maintenance of core temperature in SCUBA divers: contributions of anthropometrics, patent foramen ovale, and non-shivering thermogenesis

To determine the influence of a patent foramen ovale and fibroblast growth factor-21 on core temperature (Tc) responses in SCUBA divers. Additionally, we aimed to quantify the individual and combined influences of wetsuit thickness and anthropometric data on Tc changes during the dives.
