Summary The energy requirements of Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) chicks were analysed with respect to body mass (W, 0.145–3.35 kg, n=36) and various forms of activity (lying, standing, minor activity, locomotion, walking on a treadmill). Direct respirometry was used to measure O2 consumption (
) and CO2 production. Heart rate (HR, bpm) was recorded from the ECG obtained by both externally attached electrodes and implantable HR-transmitters. The parameters measured were not affected by hand-rearing of the chicks or by implanting transmitters. HR measured in the laboratory and in the field were comparable. Oxygen uptake ranged from
in lying chicks to
at maximal activity, RQ=0.76. Metabolic rate in small wild chicks (0.14–0.38 kg) was not affected by time of day, nor was their feeding frequency in the colony (Dec 20–21). Regressions of HR on
were highly significant (p< 0.0001) in transmitter implanted chicks (n=4), and two relationships are proposed for the pooled data, one for minor activities (
), and one for walking (
). Oxygen consumption, mass of the chick (2–3 kg), and duration of walking (T, s) were related as
, whereas mass-specific O2 consumption was related to walking speed (S, m·s-1) as

Summary Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) experience a wide range of ambient temperatures (T
a) in their natural habitat. We examined body temperature (T
b), oxygen consumption (
), carbon dioxide production (
), evaporative water loss (
), and ventilation atT
a from –20 to 30 °C. Body temperature did not change significantly between –20 and 20°C (meanT
b=39.3°C).T
b increased slightly to 40.1 °C atT
a=30°C. Both
and
were constant and minimal atT
a between –10 and 20°C, with only minor increases at –20 and 30°C. The minimal
of adult penguins (mean mass 4.007 kg) was 0.0112 ml/[g·min], equivalent to a metabolic heat production (MHP) of 14.9 Watt. The respiratory exchange ratio was approximately 0.7 at allT
a. Values of
were low at lowT
a, but increased to 0.21 g/min at 30°C, equivalent to 0.3% of body mass/h. Dry conductance increased 3.5-fold between –20 and 30°C. Evaporative heat loss (EHL) comprised about 5% of MHP at lowT
a, rising to 47% of MHP atT
a=30°C. The means of ventilation parameters (tidal volume [VT], respiration frequency [f], minute volume [I], and oxygen extraction [
]) were fairly stable between –20 and 10°C (VT did not change significantly over the entireT
a range). However, there was considerable inter- and intra-individual variation in ventilation patterns. AtT
a=20–30°C,f increased 7-fold over the minimal value of 7.6 breaths/min, and I showed a similar change.

Summary The resting oxygen consumption
and breathing pattern of nine newborn and adult species (ranging in body size from mouse to human) have been compared on the basis of data collected from the literature. Minute ventilation
is similarly linked to
at both ages, the percent of
extracted as O2
about 2.2. Tidal volume/kg is an interspecies constant in newborns and adults, approximately 8 ml/kg. Breathing frequency decreases with the increase in size in a different way at the two ages: large species have newborns breathing at rates 2–3 times above the corresponding adults' values, while in the small species newborns and adults breathe at almost the same rate. Therefore the newborns of the smallest species have both
and
below the expected values, implying a greater inability to cope with the external demands than newborns of larger species. Several considerations indicate that in the smallest newborns the mechanical properties of the respiratory system could be a constraint to resting ventilations larger than observed. It is therefore possible that their low
is the cause, and not the effect, of the relatively small

Summary The rate of oxygen consumption (

increased in proportion to blood flow rate, even at flow rates 4–5 times above resting level. The slope of the line relating
to skeletal muscle blood flow was significantly greater in the lemming than in the rat. This may be related to the inverse relationship between body weight and metabolic rate. These data support the hypothesis that in small animals a dependent relationship exists between blood flow and skeletal muscle

Summary The brush turkey (Alectura lathami) and mallee fowl (Leipoa ocellata) are megapode birds that incubate their eggs by burying them in mounds. Respiratory gas exchange between the buried eggs and the atmosphere occurs mainly by diffusion through about 60 cm of decomposing forest litter (brush turkey) or sand (mallee fowl).Gas fluxes in the brush turkey mound are greatly influenced by the respiration of thermophilic microorganisms which consume O2 at rates over eight times that of all of the eggs. The respiratory exchange ratio (
) of the microorganisms is 0.75 and theQ
10 for metabolism is 2.56. Fermentation and nitrogen fixation do not occur in the mounds.If the mound becomes too wet, gas tensions near the eggs can become critical because water increases rates of microbial respiration and impedes gas diffusion. However, field mounds are relatively dry, possibly because the adult bird modifies the shape of the mound and affects the entry of rain water. At egg level in field mounds,
and
are about 132 and 21 Torr, respectively, in both species. Embryonic respiration decreases
and increases
about 5 Torr in the immediate environment of individual eggs in late development. Due to a high eggshell gas conductance, which increases during incubation, the gas tensions within the shell of late embryos (
ca. 108 Torr,
ca. 47 Torr) are not far from the mean values found in species that nest above ground. 相似文献

Summary The metabolic demands of vocalization byHyla versicolor were determined by measuring oxygen consumption and whole body lactate content of calling animals. A stepwise multiple regression analysis identified both calling rate (calls/h) and call duration (s/call) as significant determinants of oxygen consumption during calling. These two variables accounted for 84% of the total variation in oxygen consumption observed in calling frogs. Aerobic metabolism
increased linearly with calling rate and call duration, reaching a peak value of 1.7 ml O2/(g·h) at the highest vocalization effort. For comparison, metabolic rates of the same individuals were also measured during short bouts of vigorous locomotor exercise
induced by mechanical stimulation. The mean value of
was only 62% of the peak
, and 5 of 13 frogs had rates of oxygen consumption during calling that exceeded their
. Whole body lactate levels were measured in two samples of calling frogs, one collected early in the evening (2100–2115 h) and the other 1.5 h later (2230–2245 h). The frogs in the second sample had significantly lower lactate levels (0.10 mg/g) than the frogs collected early in the evening (0.22 mg/g). Hence, vocalization does not entail the use of anaerobic metabolism, although lactate levels may be slightly elevated at the onset of an evening of calling. Calling rates of unrestrained frogs in a large chorus were measured at regular intervals during an evening. During the first half hour of calling, rates increased gradually from an initial mean value of 600 calls/h at 2030 h to nearly 1400 calls/h at 2100 h. These data indicate that acoustic advertisement byHyla versicolor is among the most energetically expensive activities regularly undertaken by any anuran, and indeed, is the most demanding yet measured in an ectothermic vertebrate.Abbreviations

Effects of ambient temperature and altitude on ventilation and gas exchange in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Summary The effects of different ambient temperatures (T
a) on gas exchange and ventilation in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were determined after acclimation to low and high altitude (340 and 3,800 m).At both low and high altitude, oxygen consumption (
) decreased with increasingT
a atT
a from –10 to 30 °C. The
was 15–20% smaller at high altitude than at low altitude atT
a below 30 °C.Increased
atT
a below thermoneutrality was supported by increased minute volume (
) at both low and high altitude. At mostT
a, the change in
was primarily a function of changing respiration frequency (f); relatively little change occurred in tidal volume (V
T) or oxygen extraction efficiency (O2EE). AtT
a=0 °C and below at high altitude,
was constant due to decliningV
T and O2EE increased in order to maintain high
.At high altitude,
(BTP) was 30–40% higher at a givenT
a than at low altitude, except atT
a below 10 °C. The increased
at high altitude was due primarily to a proportional increase inf, which attained mean values of 450–500 breaths/min atT
a below 0 °C. The
(STP) was equivalent at high and low altitude atT
a of 10 °C and above. At lowerT
a,
(STPD) was larger at low altitude.At both altitudes, respiratory heat loss was a small fraction (<10%) of metabolic heat production, except at highT
a (20–30 °C).Abbreviations

Summary Resting rates of O2 consumption
against
, exercise endurance times and
during recovery from vigorous exercise were measured inSceloporus occidentalis captured near sea level and inS. graciosus captured above 2850 m. Oxygen consumption against
was also measured inS. occidentalis captured above 2850 m. When
was recorded continuously, as ambient
was slowly reduced from 155 Torr, it became directly dependent upon ambient
between 110 and 120 Torr. The critical
for the high altitude lizards was lower than that for the lowland lizards, which enabled the former to maintain relatively higher
's when ambient
was reduced below 120 Torr. The high altitude lizards also had significantly greater endurance when stimulated to exercise at 1600 m (
130 Torr). Both the higher
under hypoxia and the greater endurance roughly parallel a significantly greater maximum
in the high altitude lizards. At a simulated altitude of 3600 m (
100 Torr), maximum
and rate of recovery of the O2 debt calculated from post active
were significantly reduced in the lowland but not the high altitude lizards. The effects of simulated altitude conditions on the lowland but not the mountaine animals indicate adaptations to altitude in these sceloporine lizards. We did not find any consistent relationship between organ/body weight ratios or hematocrit and our measures of
endurance or the altitude at which the lizards were captured. 相似文献

Summary Oxygen consumption
was measured at rest and during spontaneous activity at body temperatures of 25 and 35°C in 14 fasting Savanna monitor lizards,Varanus exanthematicus ranging in weight from 172 to 7500 g. The allometric relationship between metabolic rate at 25°C and body weight (W) is given by:
(ml O2 STPD·g–1·hr–1)=0.88W
–0.43 (Fig. 2). Although statistical comparisons are equivocal, this intraspecific size dependence exceeds that reported for interspecific comparisons among reptiles and other vertebrate groups (Fig 3). A reproducible diurnal pattern of activity was observed in undisturbed animals with minimum values of
between 2400 and 0800 h (Fig. 1). Spontaneous activity and
generally reached peak values between 1200 and 2000 hrs. The average ratio of active aerobic metabolic rate (AMR) to minimum (standard) aerobic metabolic rate (SMR) was 8.2. This voluntary AMR/SMR inVaranus exceeds the AMR/SMR for most reptiles stimulated to exhaustion. The high aerobic capacity is consistent with other evidence for efficient exchange and transport of respiratory gases inV. exanthematicus; e.g., low or absent intracardiac shunt flow resulting in high arterial saturation and low ventilation
and perfusion
requirements. 相似文献

Summary Eggs of the brush turkey (BT) and mallee fowl (MF) are incubated in mounds of soil and plant litter. Humidity in BT mounds is always near saturation (>99% RH), but in MF mounds it drops to lower values in summer (x=77% RH). Despite these high humidities, the eggs lose an average of 9.5% (BT) and 12.0% (MF) of their initial mass by evaporation before hatching. The rate of evaporation
increases during incubation several-fold due to large changes in water vapor conductance of the shell
and embryonic heat production. Values of
in fully incubated eggs in mound material are about 3–6 times higher than values obtained from unincubated eggs in desiccators. This effect depends on two factors: (1)
increases with ambient humidity, especially above 80% RH, possibly because the effective site of evaporation moves out along the walls of the pores in the eggshell. (2) Structural changes of the pores due to calcium absorption by the embryo directly increase
. The first factor is most important in BT eggs and the second is dominant in MF eggs. Production of metabolic heat by the embryo increases the vapor pressure difference across the shell and further increases
, especially in mounds of high humidity. The changes in pore structure are adaptive because they produce high conductances to respiratory gases and cause normal gas tensions within the egg at the end of development, yet
is low enough in early development to prevent excessive water loss. Water not lost by evaporation or taken up by the embryo is stored and released during hatching. A small amount of mass is lost during incubation by respiratory gas exchange.Abbreviations

Summary I compared the maximal aerobic metabolic rates (
), field metabolic rates (FMR), aerobic reserves (
-FMR), and basal metabolic rates (BMR) of wild and recently captured deer mice from low (440 m) and high (3800 m) altitudes. To separate the effects of the thermal environment from other altitudinal effects, I examined mice from different altitudes, but similar thermal environments (i.e., summer mice from high altitude and winter mice from low altitude). When the thermal environment was similar,
, FMR, and aerobic reserve of low and high altitude mice did not differ, but BMR was significantly higher at high altitude. Thus, in the absence of thermal differences, altitude had only minor effects on the aerobic metabolism of wild or recently captured deer mice.At low altitude, there was significant seasonal variation in
, FMR, and aerobic reserve, but not BMR. BMR was correlated with
, but not with FMR. The significant positive correlation of BMR with
indicates a cost of high

Summary Highly efficient oxygen uptake in elasmobranchs, as indicated by frequent excess of

The anatomical basis of this counter-current is provided by the demonstration that a continuous flow of water passes between the secondary lamellae into septal canals and thence via the parabranchial cavities to the exterior.Queen Elizabeth II Fellow. 相似文献

Summary Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were exposed to acidic soft water (pHin4.2–6.3) in the presence (93 g·l–1) or absence of Al. Fish were fitted with latex masks and opercular catheters to measure ventilation
, pH changes at the gills, O2 consumption
, ammonia excretion
, and Al extraction. During 2–3-h exposures,
was generally higher in Al-exposed fish over the pHin range 4.7–6.3. Alkalinization of expired water was about 0.3 pH units less in Al-exposed fish than in acid-only exposed fish at pHin 4.5–5.2, an effect attributable to both increased
and to buffering by Al. During 44-h exposures to pHin 5.2 and 4.8 plus Al,
increased greatly and expired water pH (pHex) decreased with time. There was a small increase in
over 44 h at pH 4.4 plus Al, and no changes in pHex. In contrast, during 44-h exposures to pH 5.2, 4.8, and 4.4 in the absence of Al, such changes were much smaller or absent. During both short- and longerterm exposures, measured Al accumulation on the gills was only 5–18% of that calculated from cumulative Al extraction from the water, suggesting considerable sloughing of Al. In free-swimming trout, gill Al accumulation was greatest during exposure (2h) to Al at pH 5.2, lower at pH 4.8, and least at pH 4.4 and 4.0. Our results suggest that Al deposition occurs at the gills, causing respiratory and ionoregulatory toxicity, because the pH in the branchial micro-environment is raised above that in the acidic inspired soft water. Higher pH at fish gills may result in Al precipitation due to loss of solubility, or Al accumulation because of shifts in Al species to Al-hydroxide forms which more readily adsorb to the gills.Abbreviations

Summary Ventilation and metabolic rate were measured during exercise in adult female green turtles at Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Six turtles were studied at night on the beach while actively covering their nests. Five turtles, captured after nesting, were studied at rest, during 20 min of spontaneous activity, and during recovery from the activity. Arterial blood samples were obtained from the latter animals and analyzed for pH,
, O2 concentration and lactate concentration. Blood was obtained by heart puncture from 8 turtles immediately after nesting and analyzed for blood lactate. Active metabolism (
) in both groups was almost 10 times the standard resting value (0.024 l/kg·h). The increase in ventilation during exercise, due exclusively to higher breathing frequency, exceeded the increase in
, so that the ratio
(the air convection requirement), more than doubled. The respiratory exchange ratio,
, that averaged 0.56 in the resting turtles, increased to 1.08 during exercise in the captured turtles and was 0.90 in the nesting animals. Arterial
and O2 saturation remained unchanged during exercise, indicating efficient gas exchange in the lungs. Pre-exercise values of all variables were restored 1 h after the end of exercise. Blood acid-base changes associated with activity in the captive turtles were variable and not statistically significant, but suggested partially compensated metabolic acidosis. Lactate concentrations were significantly elevated in the nesting turtles. 相似文献

Summary The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of norepinephrine (NE) on oxygen consumption (
) of perfused (constant flow) muscle in cold acclimated (CA) and control rats. Infusion of NE for a five minute period caused an increase in
of similar magnitude in both groups. Infusion of NE for 30 min resulted in an elevated steady state
in the cold acclimated group, while the control group showed only an initial increase in
followed by a continual decline during the remainder of the 30 min infusion period. These results suggest that when rats are challenged by cold exposure, the magnitude of the initial muscle response to NE by control and acclimated rats is the same, but a useful sustained higher muscle oxygen consumption is found only in the cold acclimated animals.Abbreviations CA

Summary In seawater (SW)-adaptedMugil andFundulus, gill effluxes of Na+
and of Cl–
and the simultaneously recorded transgill potential (P.D.) differ according to whether they are measured in stressed or rested animals.In rested animals of the two species, transfer to Ringer's solution considerably reduces the P.D. but not
. InFundulus,
is also decreased. Transfer of the two species from SW to fresh water (FW) reduces
and
by 75 to 85% and leads to a large inversion of P.D. When K+ is added to FW, a gill depolarization occurs, as well as a large increase of
and
.These results suggest that: 1) the P.D. originates primarily from the diffusion of cations, the gill permeability to Na+ (
) being greater than that to Cl– (
), 2) a Cl–/Cl– exchange independent of P.D. is associated with the Cl– pump; 3) Cl– pump activity is linked to Na+/K+ exchange which in turn is associated to a Na+/Na+ exchange diffusion mechanism.In stressed individuals of the two species, the P.D. in SW, as well as the P.D. changes observed during transfer experiments, are considerably reduced. The decrease of
and
observed after transfer from SW to FW are also minimised. Changes are smaller inFundulus. The decrease of P.D. characterizing stressed animals may be at least in part due to a 3 to 4 fold increase of
which becomes equal to
in both species.As a result of stress, the K+-activated Na+ and Cl– excretion mechanisms are totally inhibited inFundulus and partially so inMugil.Stress response seems more intense inFundulus and recovery from stress faster inMugil. 相似文献

Summary Gas conductance of the shell, rates of O2 consumption, CO2 production and air cell gas tensions were measured in pre-internal pipping, 19 day-old chicken eggs that were selected for a wide range in shell conductance. Regional conductance was measured in eggs with partially waxed shells.Surface-specific shell conductance was not uniform over the egg; it was over 3-fold higher at the poles than at the equator. Conductance was about 59% higher over the air cell than over the chorioallantoic part of the egg. Surface-specific perfusion was 12% higher in the air cell. Therefore the
in the air cell was higher, and the
lower, than values calculated for the whole egg. The mean difference in
between the air cell and the chorioallantoic part of the egg was 14.8 Torr, and that of
, was 7.0 Torr. These differences were somewhat dependent on total conductance. Respiratory gas exchange ratio (
) was higher in the air cell (R=0.82) and lower in the chorioallantoic region (R=0.67) than for the whole egg (R=0.70). Air cell R increased slightly in eggs of higher total conductance.Mismatching of regional shell conductance and chorioallantoic perfusion contributes to a functional venous shunt that is partly responsible for nonequilibrium between the air cell and the blood in the chorioallantoic veins.Symbols and abbreviations

Summary In the intertidal shore crab,Carcinus maenas, pH and
values of the prebranchial venous hemolymph,
and
, the PO2 values of the arterialized cardiac hemolymph,
, were measured, and the ventilatory activity was assessed by measuring the hydrostatic pressures at the exits of the epibranchial cavities, under four environmental conditions: normoxic water, normoxic air, hypoxic gas, hyperoxic gas.In the crab breathing normoxic air,
was lower and
higher than in animals breathing normoxic water. With the switch to hypoxic gas, ventilation increased and
and
decreased. With the switch to hyperoxic gas, ventilation decreased,
and
increased and
decreased.Thus these crabs breathing air were not as well oxygenated as when breathing air-equilibrated water, and because of their low
, they were relatively hypervetilating and hypocapnic compared to air-breathing vertebrates. Hyperoxic breathing, increasing
and reducing ventilatory drive, led to increased
. Conversely,
was reduced by hypoxic breathing. These observations suggest that the gas exchanger of intertidal crabs is not as successfully designed for air breathing as that of land-colonizing insects and air-breathing vertebrates. 相似文献

To assess the rate-limiting factor of oxygen uptake (
) kinetics at the onset of exercise, six healthy male sedentary subjects performed repeated one-legged constant-load cycle exercise. The one-legged constant-load exercise test consisted of two 5-min periods of pedalling at an exercise intensity of 50 W, with a 5-min rest between periods (these exercise periods, i.e. first and second exercises, were performed by the same leg). The exercise was then repeated using the other leg. In addition, two-legged incremental exercise was investigated to establish whether
kinetics were affected by slower heart rate kinetics. The incremental exercise test consisted of two-legged pedalling first with the cycle unloaded as a warm-up for 5 min followed by 50-W exercise for 5 min. The exercise intensity was then increased to 100 W for 5 min. During exercise, gas exchange parameters were determined by the breath-by-breath method and cardiac output (
) was determined continuously by an impedance technique with a computer-based automated system. To determine the kinetics of heart rate (HR),
and
, a best fit procedure was employed using least-squares criteria with a time delay, except during the initial increase. During the one-legged constant-load exercise test,
kinetics were significantly accelerated by repeated exercise using the same leg. On the other hand, when the exercise was changed to the other leg,
kinetics were significantly slower, although
kinetics continued to be faster. During the incremental exercise test, although the HR response was slower at the transition from 50-W to 100-W exercise than at the transition from warm-up to 50-W exercise, there were no significant changes in
kinetics. These findings suggest that
kinetics may be affected by metabolic conditions in the muscle, but not by blood flow (
and/or HR) kinetics. 相似文献

To determine the change in muscle oxygenation in response to progressively increasing work rate exercise, muscle oxyhemoglobin + oxymyoglobin saturation was measured transcutaneously with near infrared spectroscopy in the vastus lateralis muscle during cycle ergometry. Studies were done in 11 subjects while gas exchange was measured breath-by-breath. As work rate was increased, tissue oxygenation initially either remained constant near resting levels or, more usually, decreased. Near the work rate and metabolic rate where significant lactic acidosis was detected by excess CO2 production (lactic acidosis threshold, LAT), muscle oxygenation decreased more steeply. As maximum oxygen uptake (
) was approached, the rate of desaturation slowed. In 8 of the 11 subjects, tissue O2 saturation reached a minimum which was sustained for 1–3 min before
was reached. The LAT correlated with both the
(r = 0.95,P < 0.0001) and the work rate (r = 0.94,P < 0.0001) at which the rate of tissue O2 desaturation accelerated. These results describe a consistent pattern in the rate of decrease in muscle oxygenation, slowly decreasing over the lower work rate range, decreasing more rapidly in the work rate range of the LAT and then slowing at about 80% of
