Statistical examination of the data from experiments conducted on groups of Amphibians induces us to retain as plausible the hypothesis which indicates in fasting one of the preminent factors that cause an increase in the melanic content of their liver. The temperature does not act directly, but indirectly, on the process of melanosynthesis, by inducing or otherwise the semilethargous state on which alimentation depends.
对两栖动物群体进行实验所获得的数据进行统计分析后，我们认为以下假设是合理的：禁食是导致其肝脏黑色素含量增加的主要因素之一。温度并非直接作用于黑色素合成过程，而是通过诱导或其他方式影响营养所依赖的半昏睡状态，从而间接发挥作用。
