Oxygen consumption and colonic temperature of germfree rats are lower than those of conventional and conventionalized rats. Cecectomy of weanling germfree rats prevents the development of the very large ceca characteristic of ordinary germfree rats but did not increase oxygen consumption or change colonic temperature.
无菌大鼠的耗氧量和结肠温度低于普通大鼠和无菌化大鼠。对断奶无菌大鼠进行盲肠切除术可防止其出现普通无菌大鼠特有的非常大的盲肠,但不会增加耗氧量或改变结肠温度。
