Basal metabolic rate ( BMR) is the rate of energy transformation in a rest , aw ake and postabsorptive state in the absence of thermal stress, and is the minimum metabolic rate of animals maintaining normally physiological function. Theoretically, BMR limits might be set by central organs ( primarily visceral organs such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular, digestive or ex cretory systems) or by peripheral organs ( primarily skeletal muscles) that support peripheral effectors . These ideas represent the central limitation hypothesis and the peripheral limitation hypothesis, respectively. In this study, w e measured seasonal changes in BMR and organ mass, and evaluated the relationship betw ee
