Abstract

Acclimatization - physiology Animals Cold Climate Estradiol - physiology Female Gonadal Steroid Hormones - physiology Lizards - metabolism Male Orchiectomy Ovariectomy Oxygen Consumption - physiology Seasons Testosterone - physiology
Male and female Chalcides ocellatus were gonadectomized and cold acclimated at 15 degrees for 1 week. Lizards were injected with testosterone and estradiol, and their oxygen consumption was determined at 15 degrees. Testosterone and estradiol caused a significant increase in the whole body rate of oxygen consumption in male and female lizards, respectively.
