OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN HEAT-ADAPTED ANIMALS

Oxygen consumption and heat balance in the cot-nursed baby.

Hey, E. N., and O'Connell, B. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 335. Oxygen consumption and heat balance in the cot-nursed baby. Oxygen consumption and heat balance have been studied in 42 clothed babies under varied environmental temperature conditions. The information obtained has made it possible to compare the thermal environment provided by an incubator with that provided by an...

Oxygen Consumption in Cycling:

Oxygen and early animals

The biology of sponges provides clues about how early animals may have dealt with low levels of oxygen.

Short Communication a Method for Long-term Multiple-channel Recording of Oxygen Consumption in Aquatic Animals

The objective of the present work has been to develop a method for measuring the rate of oxygen consumption on a routine basis during toxicity testing and environmental monitoring. This requires a method that is reliable over long periods and can be used with a minimum of maintenance work in a variable environment. The system should consist of a compact unit easily transported and available at ...

A closed circuit apparatus for measurement of oxygen consumption in small animals.

A simple and reliable closed circuit apparatus for short term and long term measurements of oxygen consumption of small laboratory animals is described. Repeat measurements of oxygen consumption under resting conditions of six male albino rats using this apparatus shows a variability of less than 1.5%. Use of the set-up for continuous monitoring of oxygen consumption following subcutaneous inje...
