Abstract excerpt
We measured body temperature (Tb) and ventilatory and metabolic variables in lean (n = 8) and obese (n = 8) Zucker rats. Measurements were made while rats breathed air, 4% CO2, and 10% O2. Under control conditions, Tb in obese rats was always less than that of their lean counterparts. Obese rats adopted a more rapid, shallow breathing pattern than lean rats in air and had a lower ventilation rate in 4% CO2....
