TL;DR
It was decided to determine in more detail the influence of age on minimal O2 consumption, on the neutral environmental temperature at which 02 consumption is minimal, and on the maximal increase in 02 consumption that is observed with cooling.

The results presented here show that the new-born pig is not poikilothermous and that over the environmental temperature range 4-38° C it exhibits a vigorous metabolic response to cooling of the environment.

The experiments reported in this paper were designed to investigate the importance of the glycogen in the hearts ofnew-born rats for their survival in nitrogen, and to attempt to define more clearly the factors determining the anaerobic survival of new-born animals.

It is desirable to examine the effects of anoxia in the new-born animal and the adult of the same species, using so far as possible identical methods of investigation under the same laboratory conditions, to establish whether this difference was real and to try to discover its cause.

On the basis of 926 respiration trials, metabolic rates of normal female rats are presented as means of 42 different age groups from birth to 1000 days of age with a standard deviation between prediction and observation of 2.2% of the mean.

The present investigation was designed to obtain a quantitative estimate of the changes in 02 consumption and respiratory minute volume in the neutral environment (at a temperature such that 02 consumption is minimal) and during cooling.

18 Citations1958Donald G. McIntyre, H. E. Ederstrom
Since heat production in 2- to 3-week-old dogs was increased to about the same extent as in the adult on cold exposure, it was assumed that heat conservation lagged behind heat production In the development of homeothermy.

The range of environmental temperature within which rats maintain a stable body temperature increases with age1–3, and it is possible that the lack of effect of adrenalectomy on thermoregulation before the sixteenth day after birth4–6 is the result of the relatively very low environmental temperature used (5° C.) at which thermoreGulation fails in very young rats.
