heat dissipation limitation
- Limits to sustained energy intake. XXXII. Hot again: dorsal shaving increases energy intake and milk output in golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)
Summary: Shaved lactating solitary golden hamsters show increased rates of milk energy output and pup growth, and provide experimental support for heat dissipation limits.
- Limits to sustained energy intake. XXXI. Effect of graded levels of dietary fat on lactation performance in Swiss mice
Summary: Female Swiss mice enhance their lactation performance in line with a graded dietary fat content from 8.3 to 41.7% fat, but not at higher fat levels.
- Limits to sustained energy intake. XXIX. The case of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)
Summary: Raising offspring in golden hamsters comes at the cost of producing large amounts of body heat up to a level constraining energy intake.
