Prolonged stable hypothermia: effect on blood gases and pH in rats and ground squirrels
Richardson's ground squirrels [body temperature (Tb) 7 degrees C] survive prolonged stable hypothermia for three times as long as do rats (Tb 19 degrees C) (72 vs. 24 h). We have examined the changes in blood gases and acid-base state to assess whether these contribute to this difference in sur...
