The influence of elevation of temperature upon a chemical reaction may be twofold. If the reaction is at all exo- or endothermic, t...hat is, if any heat is liberated or absorbed during the progress of the reaction, an elevation of temperature will bring about a definite change in Equilibrium so that at the conclusion of the reaction the final relative proportion of the various components is altered. On the other hand a rise in temperature always accelerates the attainment of equilibrium whatever the station of equilibrium may chance to be. Thus, not- withstanding the fact that the majority of the hydrolyses which occur in living tissues are exothermic, so that a rise in temperature tends to shift the equilibrium in the direction of less complete hydrolysis, yet the rate of Hydrolysis being more than proportionately accelerated, enzymatic hydrolyses which are barely perceptible at low tempera- tures become extremely rapid at the body-temperature of warm- blooded animals.
