Metabolic activity in cardiac tissue slices from the guinea pig (GP), the rat (RT), the nonhibernating summer and winter hedgehog (SH and WH), respectively, was determined at 20 degrees and at 37 degrees C from their rates of heat production, P, (units, W/g tissue) by direct and indirect calorimetry...
