Abstract
The heat production of six mature, male, albino rats was determined while receiving a diet characterized by a high dynamic effect, and also while fasting, at environmental temperatures ranging from 15° to 34°C. The zone of thermal neutrality for the fasting rats was found to be from 28° to 33°C., the effect of feed being to lower both limits of this range by 1°C. About one third of the heat increment of the food as observed in the zone of thermal neutrality was manifest below the critical temperature.
