Abstract
1. 1.|A reduction of the body weight of Djungarian hamsters from 45 to 25 g by a strict diet increased their weight-specific non-shivering thermogenesis (NST), but total capacity for NST and cold limit were unaffected. During seasonal acclimatization a similar reduction in body weight occurred. However, there was a significant improvement in total capacity for NST and cold limit, indicating that seasonal thermogenic adaptation occurs independently of seasonal changes in body weight. 2. 2.|Acute starvation for 43 h affected neither weight-specific nor total thermogenic capacities, indicating stability of heat production towards reductions of energy supply.
