Seasonal variation in sleeping metabolic rate, thyroid activity, and leptin.
We investigated seasonal variation in sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) and the possible relation to body composition, thyroid activity, and leptin. Twenty-five healthy volunteers were examined four times during the year: in spring (April, May), summer (July, August), autumn (October, November), and winter (January, February). Body composition was determined using a three-compartment model based on...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in metabolic rate, flight activity and body size of Anopheles gambiae in the Sahel.
Malaria in Africa is vectored primarily by the Anopheles gambiae complex. Although the mechanisms of population persistence during the dry season are not yet known, targeting dry season mosquitoes could provide opportunities for vector control. In the Sahel, it appears likely that M-form A. gambiae survive by aestivation (entering a dormant state). To assess the role of eco-physiological change...
متن کاملMetabolic rate of sleeping infants.
AIM To measure the sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) of healthy infants in the first year of life. METHODS The SMR was measured on 73 infants aged 1 to 12 months in a special nursery using indirect calorimetry. One hundred satisfactory observations were made. The room air and radiative temperatures, humidity, and amount of insulation were measured. Parents chose the clothing and bedding that they...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of resting metabolic rate and body mass in free-living weasels Mustela nivalis.
Metabolic rates and body mass of mammals vary seasonally along with ambient temperatures and food availability. At the population level, seasonal changes in metabolic rate and mass can be due to selective mortality or emigration of individuals whose metabolic rate or mass differs from the average for the population. Alternatively, the metabolic rates of individuals can change seasonally, such t...
متن کاملThe seasonal variation of basal metabolism and activity of thyroid gland in man.
Since Gessler (1) reported a seasonal variation of his own standared metabolism in 1924, this problem has been investigated by many authors. Their opinions are, however, not in complete accord with one another. Most of the American authors (e. g. Tilt (2), Benedict and Carpenter (3), Du Bois (4)) support the view that the basal metabolism is almost constant throughout the year, while many Japan...
