Faecal corticosterone concentrations indicate that separately housed male mice are not more stressed than group housed males.

TL;DR: The results from this study showed that singly housed mice reduced their corticosterone levels over time after separation reaching a minimum from 14 days onwards, suggesting that group housed mice required only basic levels of enrichment and should be separated from their group for a minimum of 2 weeks before measurements are taken.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambient temperature shapes reproductive output during pregnancy and lactation in the common vole (Microtus arvalis): a test of the heat dissipation limit theory.

TL;DR: Common voles have small litter sizes by comparison with mice and rats, and regular addition of wild-caught individuals of this species to the authors' laboratory colony ensures a natural genetic background, and the effects of lactation temperature on pup growth where also observed at smaller litter sizes, suggesting vole dams trade-off costs associated with hyperthermia during lactation with the yield from investment in pup growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of Ramadan fasting on activity and energy expenditure.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of Ramadan fasting on resting metabolic rate (RMR), activity, and total energy expenditure (TEE) was investigated in a study with healthy nonobese volunteers.

Energy compensation and adiposity in humans

Vincent Careau, +90 more
- 25 Oct 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the largest dataset compiled on adult TEE and basal energy expenditure (BEE) of people living normal lives to find that energy compensation by a typical human averages 28% due to reduced BEE; this suggests that only 72% of the extra calories we burn from additional activity translates into extra calories burned that day.
