Sex and strain differences in isotope turnover rates and metabolism in house mice (Mus musculus)

摘要: The rate of nutrient incorporation into most organisms is an unknown but important factor in temporally variable systems. We investigate within-species variation tissue turnover and metabolic among house mice (Mus musculus L., 1758). By establishing a predictive relationship between rate, field-based studies could more easily estimate rates using as surrogate. Here, diet change was administered male female two strains (BALB/c CBA/J) to test whether detectable within species. Resting (mean values 1.50–3.64 mL O2·h–1·g–1) m (0.02–0.07), were significantly different sexes, not strains. Females both exhibited nitrogen faster than males. had less mass males, which account for the differences replacement sexes. difference met...
