Energy metabolism and fasting in male and female insectivorous bats Molossus molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae)
Metabolic adaptations induced by 24 and 48 hours of fasting were investigated in male and female insectivorous bats (Molossus molossus Pallas, 1766). For this purpose, plasma glucose, non esterified fatty acids (NEFA), glycogen, protein and lipids concentrations in liver and muscles were obtained. D...
