To evaluate a hypothesized role of the vagus in the circannual metabolic cycle of hibernators, measures of annual weight gain, weight loss and cycle period were taken for the ground squirrel, Citellus lateralis, maintained in constant environmental conditions before and after subdiaphragmatic vagotomy. The surgery did not alter the peak weights attained, the lowest weights reached, or the period of the circannual cycle.
为了评估迷走神经在冬眠动物年度代谢周期中的假定作用，在膈下迷走神经切断术前和术后，对饲养在恒定环境条件下的侧纹黄鼠的年度体重增加、体重减轻和周期时长进行了测量。手术并未改变所达到的峰值体重、所降至的最低体重或年度周期的时长。
