摘要: 1. Oxygen consumption (ml X kg0.75 per min) in relation to ambient temperature (Ta) the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), polecat (Mustela putorius), mink vison) and stoat erminea) is described by equations y = 14.2 - 0.23x, 26.3 0.47x, 26.9 0.33x 39.0 1.06x, respectively. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) of blue fox (Alopex lagopus) could be measured only at thermoneutrality. 2. In polecats, calorigenic response noradrenaline was about 40% above RMR, while dogs it absent. 3. The cooling constant (per deceased similar that for (0.0008), but considerably higher than (beagle 0.0016) or polecats (0.0023-0.0031).
