Notes:
As compared to that of active animals, blood from P. fallax torpid at an ambient temperature (TA) of 15°C (hibernation) shows a decrease in red cell K and increases in cell Na and plasma K, and analyses of blood from animals hypothermic at TA = 25°C (aestivation) suggest increases in cell Na and plasma K. Blood electrolyte metabolism of this hibernating rodent shows no special resistance to hypothermia.
