Popis: | Hibernation requires balancing energy and water demands over several months. Many studies have noted the importance of fat for hibernation energy budgets, but protein catabolism in hibernation has received less attention, and whole-animal changes in lean mass have not previously been considered. We used quantitative magnetic resonance body composition analysis to measure deposition of fat and lean mass of cave myotis ( |
