The long-term (45 days) acclimation of the Mongolian gerbil, in contrast to albino rats, is not accompanied by adaptive changes in general metabolism, chemical thermoregulation, bioelectric skeletal muscles activity, and tissue respiration in muscles and liver. The effect of short-term intermittent cooling in the Mongolian gerbil is of short duration and does not manifest itself in increased stability of body temperature. The calorigenic effect of norepinephrine may be only observed after a long-term adaptation. The pattern of adaptation to cold in the Mongolian gerbil, a typical habitant of continental climate of Central Asia, depends on the stability of its normal thermoregulation.
与白化大鼠不同，蒙古沙鼠的长期（45天）适应过程中，其一般代谢、化学体温调节、生物电骨骼肌活动以及肌肉和肝脏中的组织呼吸均未出现适应性变化。蒙古沙鼠短期间歇性冷却的效果持续时间较短，且未表现为体温稳定性增加。去甲肾上腺素的产热效应可能仅在长期适应后才会观察到。蒙古沙鼠作为中亚大陆性气候的典型栖息地动物，其对寒冷的适应模式取决于其正常体温调节的稳定性。
