HOMEOSTASIS OF THE NONFAT COMPONENTS OF MIGRATING BIRDS
E P ODUM ; D T ROGERS ; D L HICKS ;
Date 6 Mar 1964
Journal Science, 143 (), 1037-9
AbstractObesity in migratory birds appears to differ from obesity in man in that gains and losses in body weight do not involve changes in the tissue structure of the body; fat is added to and used from preexisting tissue spaces without appreciable change in the water content or the nonfat dry weight of the body as a whole. Evidence is presented which supports the hypothesis that the nonfat body is essentially homeostatic during migration despite very large scale changes in total body weight.
