Why does a rat need more oxygen then a frog?
Rats have a higher metabolic rate than frogs.
What effect does TSH have on metabolic rate?
Hypophysectomized rats do not have the thyroxine with which to regulate metabolic rate properly. Thyroxine replacement can allow for the normalization of the metabolic rate (as it does in humans with hypothyroidism!).
Why do rats have a high metabolic rate?
Rats have a high metabolic rate because they are small animals with a relatively large surface area-to-volume ratio, leading to faster heat loss and requiring more energy to maintain their body temperature. Additionally, rats are active creatures with quick movements, which also contributes to their high metabolic needs.
Which of the following is a finding from studies of diet restriction in rats?
Energy-restricted diets led to lowering of the metabolic rate and body temperature
Why did a normal rat's metabolic rate decrease when injected with thyroxine?
The effect of administering thyroxin on each of the rats was the baseline metabolic rate increased in each rat. Thyroxin was the most important hormone in maintaining metabolism and body heat.
What is the lifespan of Wistar rats?
Wistar rats appear to be an interesting model to study the changes related to metabolic syndrome. They can have a lifespan of two to three years.
What has the author Arto Kuusisto written?
Arto Kuusisto has written: 'Metabolic effects of ethanol in diabetic rats'
What is the survival rate of rats undergoing surgery?
The survival rate of rats undergoing surgery is typically high, with most studies reporting rates above 90.
What is the normal heart rate of rats?
380 to 400
What are the effect of poisoning the rats in and around the house?
The main effect is the death of the rats. However, be careful if you have pets. Put the poison in protected places, so that your pets remain safe.
What effect did the rapid growth of boom towns have on California?
Rats
Are sharks able to learn at the rate of white rats and pigeons?
Yes
