In isolated King Penguins there is a 80% decrease in the daily change in body mass; at the same time the resting metabolic rate decreases by 55%. The decrease in change in body mass and metabolic rate occurs mainly during the 5 first days of fasting (decrease of 65% in the daily change in bodymass and 35% in resting metabolic rate). This result is attributed to a quick transition to an economical level of energy expenditure.
在单独饲养的帝企鹅中，体重的每日变化减少了80%；与此同时，静息代谢率下降了55%。体重变化和代谢率的下降主要发生在禁食的前5天（体重的每日变化减少65%，静息代谢率下降35%）。这一结果归因于迅速过渡到能量消耗的经济水平。
