Oxygen consumption and lactate production above resting levels, and selected body temperatures, were measured in the lizard Agama stellio. Active and resting VO2 have low Q10 (1.7, 2.0) in the activity range 30-37 degrees C and higher Q10 (3.8, 4.0) below this. A correlation was found between published resting and active VO2 of lizards, and between VO2 and lifestyle. Four types were recognized, in order of increasing VO2: (a) fossorial; (b) sit-and-wait (including A. stellio); (c) cruising, and (d) widely foraging. A. stellio has a high capacity for lactate production, correlated with its short but rapid bursts of activity. This accounts for 80-90% of the energy used during 30 sec maximal activity.
在蜥蜴变色蜥中测量了高于静息水平的耗氧量、乳酸生成量以及选定的体温。在30 - 37摄氏度的活动范围内，活动时和静息时的耗氧量具有较低的Q10值（分别为1.7和2.0），在此温度范围以下则具有较高的Q10值（分别为3.8和4.0）。已发现蜥蜴已发表的静息和活动时的耗氧量之间以及耗氧量与生活方式之间存在相关性。确认了四种类型，按耗氧量增加的顺序排列：(a) 穴居型；(b) 坐等型（包括变色蜥）；(c) 巡游型；以及 (d) 广泛觅食型。变色蜥具有较高的乳酸生成能力，这与其短暂但快速的活动爆发有关。这占30秒最大活动期间所使用能量的80 - 90%。
