Fig. 2. The effect of exercise performed in June and January in Rana
catesbeiana on the rate of oxygen consumed
(
O2; ml O2
g1 h1) in summer (black circles) and
winter (grey squares) and the rate of carbon dioxide produced
(
CO2; ml CO2
g1 h1) in summer (open circles) and in
winter (open squares). Values are means ± s.e.m. Asterisks indicate
times at which both
O2
and
CO2 are significantly
different from resting frog (REST) values (P>0.05, unpaired
t-test by time, N=68). Inset shows 240 min average of
O2 in winter and summer
post-activity; **significant difference (P<0.05,
N=68) between identical treatments and gases measured in
different seasons.
