✦ Synopsis
As compared to t h a t of active animals, blood from P . fallax torpid a t a n ambient temperature ( T A ) of 15°C (hibernation) shows a decrease in red cell K a n d increases in cell N a a n d plasma X, and analyses of blood from animals hypothermic a t TA = 25°C (aestivation) suggest increases in cell N a a n d plasma K. Blood electrolyte metabolism of this hibernating rodent shows no special resistance to h ypothermia.
