Description:

In adult (300-400 g) male Wistar rats acclimated for 3 weeks either to moderate (13±1°C) or acute (5±1°C) cold the changes of the metabolic rate in intact animals, respiration of muscle and liver slices in vitro, urinary catecholamine excretion and total serum thyroxine concentration have been measured. After 21 days of acclimation to both temperatures the basal metabolic rate (BMR) was elevated. U dorosłych (300-400 g) samców szczurów rasy Wistar, aklimatyzowanych w ciągu 3 tygodniu, bądź w umiarkowanym (13±1°C), bądź ostrym (5±1°C) chłodzie, mierzono: tempo metabolizmu całych zwierząt, oddychanie in vitro, skrawków mięśni i wątroby, wydalanie amin katecholowanych w moczu i stężenie tyroksyny ogólnej we krwi. Po 21 dniach aklimatyzacji w obu temperaturach przemiana podstawowa szczurów była istotnie wyższa niż przed aklimatyzacją.
