Abstract
1. 1.|Circadian changes in heat production ( M), heat loss ( H), core temperature ( T c) and feeding activity (FA) of ad-lib fed rats were observed by direct and indirect calorimetry. 2. 2.| M, H and T c showed a clear nocturnal increase associated with several discrete increases. 3. 3.|Whereas the slope of M vs T c relation did not change appreciably within a day, the slope of H vs T c or thermal conductance vs T c relation tended to decrease at night, implying that the correlation between heat loss and body temperature is also a function of time of day in rats.
