Milk output and composition in mice divergently selected for basal metabolic rate
... From an evolutionary perspective, the high basal metabolic rate (BMR) of homeotherms is hypothesised to be a by-product of natural selection for effective parental care. We estimated daily milk ...

Effect of dietary restriction on metabolic, anatomic and molecular traits in mice depends on the initial level of basal metabolic rate
... Our experimental mice came from non-replicated selection (Książek et al., 2004). Nevertheless, we have repeatedly shown that differences between H-BMR and L-BMR line types in BMR, size of internal organs and composition ...
