  		Fig. 1. Standard metabolic rate (SMR) of 26 leopard frogs increased with body mass (SMR=-0.558+0.060 xmass; r2=0.19; P=0.025).

  		Fig. 2. Residual SMR increased with residual kidney mass (r2=0.25; P=0.01), but not with residuals of gastrocnemius, heart, liver or small intestine.

  		Fig. 3. SMR increased with serum T4 thyroxine concentration (SMR=-4.84+8.023[thyroxine]; r2=0.16; P=0.04).

  		Fig. 4. Residual SMR increased with liver residual relative mitochondrial content (r2=0.15; P=0.05). Relative mitochondrial content was determined by incubating disaggregated liver tissue with MitoTracker Deep Red 633 mitochondria stain, and measuring the fluorescence intensity of bound stain by flow cytometry. Fluorescence intensity is dimensionless.
