During hibernation animals oscillate from near ambient (T(a)) to euthermic body temperatures (T(b)). As animals arouse, the rate of rewarming (RRW) might be expected to simply increase as a function of time. We monitored the T(b) of golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis) housed at 4, 8, 12, and 16 degrees C during natural arousals. The maximum RRW, the time required to reach a maximum RRW, and the relative time index all demonstrated negative relationships with T(a). The T(b) corresponding to maximal RRW demonstrated a positive relationship with T(a). Squirrels reached maximal RRW when they had generated 30 to 40% of the heat required to reach a euthermic T(b). These data suggest that arousal is more constrained than expected and that both time and temperature influence the RRW.
在冬眠期间,动物的体温在接近环境温度(Ta)和正常体温(Tb)之间波动。随着动物苏醒,复温速率(RRW)可能会随着时间的推移而简单增加。我们监测了在自然苏醒过程中,饲养在4、8、12和16摄氏度环境下的金黄地松鼠(Spermophilus lateralis)的体温。最大RRW、达到最大RRW所需的时间以及相对时间指数均与Ta呈负相关。与最大RRW相对应的Tb与Ta呈正相关。当松鼠产生达到正常体温Tb所需热量的30%至40%时,它们达到了最大RRW。这些数据表明,苏醒比预期受到更多限制,时间和温度都会影响RRW。
