Fig. 2. Outcome of the down–up (DU) protocol in
Fig. 1 portrayed as
ln(
O2)
versus body temperature Tb (A) and the value of
ln(O2) adjusted
for the Q10 effect versus Tb (B). Data
representing Phase I (cooling) are indicated by downward pointing triangles,
Phase II (maximum metabolism) by filled circles, and Phase III (warming) by
upward pointing triangles. The regression of
ln(O2)
versus Tb through Phase II has a slope of 0.0732. On the
adjusted ln(O2)
axis in B, this relationship is horizontal (broken line).
