Effects of simulated high altitude on hibernating and non-hibernating rodents

摘要: 1. 1. Albino and wild rats the ground squirred (Citellus tridecemlineatus) were subjected to hypoxic conditions at stimulated altitudes of 20,000 ft. 2. 2. No appreciable difference between albino in terms their weight gain loss, hemetocrit, hemoglobin or 59-Fe uptake response stress was noted. 3. 3. Ground squirrels used as an example a hibernator differ from non-hibernating rodents that under mortality is less; they do not show great increase percentage rise hematocrit but greater erythopoietic activity indicated by uptake. 4. 4. Hibernators appear have capacity survive conditions.
