1. 1|Energy metabolism of 38 rats acclimated to 10, 20 and 30°C was measured at these ambient temperatures and the regression equations over body weight were calculated. 2. 2|Expressing metabolic rate as M = kWn, the results showed that the value of n is apparently variable according to the acclimation and measurement temperatures. 3. 3|It was also shown that the 23 power of body weight is a suitable parameter to express metabolic rate, regardless of acclimation or environmental temperatures. |
