Abstract
Glycogen is an important energy source of animals. In this study, we tested the effects of hunger domestication in baby mass, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and the content of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen. The sparrows were divided into the control group, the fasting group I, the fasting group II, the fasting group III, and the fasting group IV, respectively. After hunger domestication, baby mass was determined with a Sartorius balance, BMR was measured using the closed-circuit respirometer, the contents of liver and muscle glycogen were determined by the anthrone method. The results showed that the content of liver glycogen was higher than muscle glycogen in control group. The content of liver and muscle glycogen decreased significantly after fasting (p < 0.01).
