The effect of weight loss in the cold on the oxygen consumption of liver and kidney cortical slices and diaphragm from hamsters of com- parable aye (I = mean and standard deviation). Weiss (1954) published similar data on oxygen consumption of visceral tissues from white rats exposed to cold (5 ±1°C). His results were plotted against increasing weight as a measure of age, whereas the hamsters were chosen so that they would be approximately 6 months old when used. He obtained the same relationships as shown for the hamsters. Weiss attributed his results to the effect of age on oxygen consumption. With the.
