... and Speakman( 2001 ) found elevated milk production in parallel with elevated food intake during cold exposure,suggesting that the mammary glands were not working at maximal capacity at 21°C and could not therefore be imposing a peripheral limit on maximal food intake. * Author for correspondence (e...

.... To distinguish between the two hypotheses,we examined milk energy output at peak lactation in MF1 laboratory mice exposed to 30°C ( N =12), 21°C ( N =10; published data)and 8°C ( N =10; published data). The peripheral limitation hypothesis predicts that milk energy output will remain constant at different...

... at 8°C and 21°C having significantly higher increases in RMR than mice at 30°C (29.6 kJ day –1 , 25.5 kJ day –1 and 8.1 kJ day –1 , respectively). The observed changes in visceral organs and RMR are consistent with both the heat dissipation and peripheral limit hypotheses. However, mice exposed to 8°C...
