During spontaneous body weight gain in dormice, Glis glis, progressive increases in the efficiency of food utilization as defined by weight gain (g)/food intake (g), and parallel increases in mean daily food intake were observed. Towards the end of the weight gain period, there was an abrupt drop in feeding efficiency with no significant change in food intake even when the latter was expressed relative to an index of each animal's "metabolic mass" (body weightkg0.62). Animals whose body weight increases followed a return to ad lib feeding after prolonged food restriction showed marked decreases in feeding efficiency from initially high values which were independent of changes in food intake. These results are discussed in relation to the sliding set point concept of body weight regulation in hibernators.
在榛睡鼠（Glis glis）自发体重增加期间，观察到以体重增加量（克）/食物摄入量（克）定义的食物利用效率逐渐提高，同时平均每日食物摄入量也相应增加。在体重增加期接近尾声时，摄食效率突然下降，即使将食物摄入量相对于每只动物的“代谢质量”（体重kg0.62）指数表示，食物摄入量也没有显著变化。在长期食物限制后恢复自由采食时体重增加的动物，其摄食效率从最初的高值显著下降，且与食物摄入量的变化无关。结合冬眠动物体重调节的滑动设定点概念对这些结果进行了讨论。
