  		Fig. 1. (A) Resting metabolic rates (RMR) as a function of chick age. Filled circles represent androgen-injected (T) chicks; open circles represent oil-injected (Oil) chicks. For clarification, the open circles have been plotted slightly to the right of the closed circles. (B) Mass-specific metabolic rates for T (filled circles) and Oil (open circles) chicks as a function of their age.
