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.

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 Six Standardbred horses were used to evaluate the time course of pulmonary gas exchange, ventilation, heart rate (HR) and acid base balance during different intensities of constant-load treadmill exercise. Horses were exercised at approximately 50%, 75% and 100% maximum oxygen uptake (
max) for 5 min and measurements taken every 30 s throughout exercise. At all work rates, the minute ventilation, respiratory frequency and tidal volume reached steady state values by 60 s of exercise. At 100%
max, the oxygen consumption (
) increased to mean values of approximately 130 ml/kg·min, which represents a 40-fold increase above resting
. At the low and moderate work rates,
showed no significant change from 30 s to 300 s of exercise. At the high work rate, the mean
at 30 s was 80% of the value at 300 s. The HR showed no significant change over time at the moderate work rate but differing responses at the low and high work rates. At the low work rate, the mean HR decreased from 188 beats/min at 30 s to 172 beats/min at 300 s exercise, whereas at the high work rate the mean HR increased from 204 beats/min at 30 s to 221 beats/min at 300 s exercise. No changes in acid base status occurred during exercise at the low work rate. At the moderate work rate, a mild metabolic acidosis occurred which was nonprogressive with time, whereas the high work rate resulted in a progressive metabolic acidosis with a base deficit of 16 mmol/l by 300 s exercise. It is concluded that the kinetics of gas exchange during exercise are more rapid in the horse than in man, despite the relatively greater change in
in the horse when going from rest to high intensity exercise.Symbols and abbreviations E

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
, because higher BMR increases food requirements and energy use during periods of thermoneutral conditions.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 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 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 The rate of oxygen consumption (
) by skeletal muscle was investigated in isolated perfused hindlimbs of laboratory rats and lemmings (Lemmus). In both species,
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 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 Thermogenic incubation has been documented in two large species of pythons, but the phenomenon has not been studied in small species with concomitantly large heat transfer coefficients. We describe behavior, metabolic rates, mass changes, and temperature relations for adult ball pythons (Python regius), the smallest member of the genus, during the reproductive cycle. Egg and hatchling metabolism and hatchling growth rates were also examined.Rates of oxygen consumption (
) of both gravid and non-gravid snakes showed typical ectothermic responses to changing ambient temperature (T
a). TheQ
10 forT
a's of 20–35°C was 2.2–2.3. The
of gravid females was significantly greater than that of non-gravid snakes at allT
a. Maximum oxygen consumption (
max) during forced exercise was about 12 times resting
atT
a=30°C.Eggs (5–6 per female) were laid in April. Total clutch mass was approximately 32% of the females' pre-oviposition mass. After oviposition, mother snakes coiled tightly around their clutches and remained in close attendance until the eggs hatched in June. Sudden decreases inT
a elicited abrupt but transient 2- to 4-fold increases in the
of incubating females. Similar responses were not observed in non-incubating snakes. The steady-state
of incubating females was independent ofT
a. In no case was body temperature (T
b) elevated more than a few tenths of a degree aboveT
a in steady-state conditions.The
of developing eggs increased sigmoidally through the 58–70 day incubation period. Total oxygen consumption during incubation atT
a=29.2°C was about 3.61 per egg. Young snakes quadrupled their mass during their first year of growth.Compared to larger python species which are endothermic during incubation, ball pythons have similar aerobic scopes and higher mass-specific
max. However, effective endothermy in ball pythons is precluded by high thermal conductance and limited energy stores. 相似文献

Summary The effects of various convective and temperature regimes on heat production, evaporative heat loss, and thermal resistance were studied in deer mice,Peromyscus maniculatus. Heat production (measured as oxygen consumption) increased with increasing wind speed (V) and decreasing ambient temperature (T
a), except atT
a=35°C which was thermoneutral for allV from 0.05 through 3.75 m/s. Evaporative water loss (
) increased with increasingT
a, but wind had little effect on
except at highT
a. In the absence of forced convection, the animals' total resistance to heat transfer (r
t) was high and stable atT
a below thermoneutrality. However, at highV ther
t increased steadily with decreasingT
a. Although deer mice rarely experience high wind speeds in natural microhabitats, the convective regime is nevertheless important in determining rates of heat loss, and must be considered in studies of ecological energetics.Symbols and Abbreviations

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

Summary Rosy finches (Leucosticte arctoa) breed at altitudes above 3500 m in eastern California. House finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) belong to the same subfamily (Carduelinae), but breed at much lower elevations. Oxygen consumption (
) and ventilatory parameters of these two species were measured over a wide range of ambient temperatures (T
a) at low altitude (LA; 150 m) and at high altitude (HA; 3800 m).Minimal nighttime
's of rosy finches and house finches at LA (T
a=30°C) were close to allometrically predicted values for passerine birds. At both altitudes,
increased linearly with decreasingT
a betweenT
a=20 and –10°C. Resting
's were slightly higher at HA than at LA on average.In both species, minute volume (
) was inversely related toT
a.T
a-correlated increases in
resulted from significant increases in both ventilatory frequency (f) and tidal volume (V
T) at both altitudes. Oxygen extraction efficiency (
) was independent ofT
a in rosy finches at LA, but declined significantly with decreasingT
a in rosy finches at HA and in house finches at both altitudes.At a givenT
a, both species had significantly greater
(BTPS) at HA than at LA. Altitude-correlated increases in
resulted primarly from increases inf with little change inV

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 Heat production
of two diurnal rodents,Rhabdomys pumilio andLemniscomys griselda was measured in long scotophase-LS (8L: 16D; 25°C) acclimated and long scotophase and cold — LSAC (8L: 16D; 6°C) acclimated animals and compared to a control group (12L: 12D; 25°C).LS increased
in both species. Further acclimation of LSAC increased
inR. pumilio and decreased
inL. griselda. LS increased body temperature (T
b) inL. griselda only. LS increased overall thermal conductance in both species. LSAC caused a further increase in this parameter inR. pumilio.A singificant (P<0.001) increase in the magnitude of maximal nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) was observed in both species due to LS acclimation. LSAC did not change this maximal NST but increased its obligatory part (minimal
, P<0.05, inL. griselda, andP<0.001, inR. pumilio).The results of this study show that winter acclimatization of heat production mechanisms, in both species, may be due to extension of scotophase.Abbreviations

Summary The effects of ambient temperature (T
a) on ventilation and gas exchange in chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar) were determined after acclimation to low and high altitute (LA and HA; 340 and 3,800 m, respectively).At both LA and HA, oxygen consumption (
) increased with decreasingT
a atT
a from 20 to –20°C. AtT
a of 35 to 40°C,
increased above thermoneutral values at HA but remained constant and minimal at LA. Water loss rates increased rapidly atT
a>30°C at both altitudes as birds began to pant. Ventilation rates (f) during panting were 5-to 23-fold greater than the minimalf at thermoneutralT
a.Increased
atT
a below thermoneutrality was supported by increased minute volume (V
i) at both altitudes. The change inV
i was primarily a function of changing tidal volume (V
t), althoughf increased slightly asT
a declined. Oxygen extraction (
) remained fairly constant atT
a below 20°C at both altitudes. BothV
t and
were considerably lower when birds were panting than at lowerT
a.Chukars showed few obvious ventilatory adaptations to HA. The 35% change in
between 340 and 3,800 m was accommodated by a corresponding change inV
i (btps), most of which was accomplished by increasedf at HA, along with a slight increase in

A study was conducted on 30 healthy soldiers (age: 40–46 years) to assess the effect of selected yogic exercises (asanas) on some physiological responses to cold exposure. They were randomly divided into two groups of 15 each. One group performed regular physical exercises of physical training (PT), while the other group practised yogic exercises. At the end of 6 months of training, both the groups were exposed together to cold stress at 10°C for 2 h, and the following parameters were periodically monitored during cold exposure: heart rate (fH), blood pressure (BP), cardiac output
, oral temperature (Tor), skin temperature (T

Summary Values for basal metabolism, standard tidal volume (V
T), standard minute volume (
), and mean extraction efficiency (EO2) in the thermal neutral zone (TNZ) inAgapornis roseicollis (1.84 ml·min–1; 0.95 ml·br–1, STPD; and 33.3 ml·min–1, STPD; and 22.5%; respectively) were all very similar to values for these parameters previously measured inBolborhynchus lineola, a similarly sized, closely related species from a distinctly different habitat.Having both a lower critical temperature (Tlc) below and an upper critical temperature (Tuc) above those ofB. lineola, the TNZ ofA. roseicollis extended from 25° to at least 35°C. The thermal conductance below the TNZ ofA. roseicollis was 14% less than that ofB. lineola. Therefore, at 5°C the standard metabolic rate (SMR) of the former is 17% less than that of the latter, and at 35°C it is 20% less. At 5°CA. roseicollis has a lower EO2 and at 35°C a higher EO2 than that ofB. lineola. The patterns of resting energy metabolism and of ventilation ofA. roseicollis and ofB. lineola are consistent with the former species being better suited to living in a more variable thermal environment than the latter.MeanV
T has a weak positive correlation with the rate of oxygen consumption (

a) but a much stronger correlation when resting
increases in response to a decrease inT

t is the only ventilatory parameter which is linearly correlated toT
a from 35° to –25°C. The data suggest thatT
a may have a regulatory effect onV
T somewhat independent of

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
