Abstract: | 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
