Abstract
Mice of different age (4–6 weeks and 1 year) were exposed to 0°. Whereas young animals showed a decrease of liver and muscle glycogen and an increase of non-esterified fatty acids in the serum, old mice did not mobilize their hepatic glycogen and increased their oxygen consumption to much less extent than young animals. Consequently, old mice, in contrast to young mice, were not able to maintain their normal body temperature.
