Abstract
Basal metabolism of dogs on a high caloric diet is decreased by restrictions of physical activity, and increased by daily exercise, short of that causing exhaustion. Basal metabolism of 4 fully grown adult dogs, housed in the laboratory 2-12 yrs., showed no decline as a result of the advanced age when living under conditions of moderate daily exercise and a high protein diet. Testes and thyroids of a dog after 22 mo. of rigorously restricted physical activity followed by 9 1/2 weeks of indoor exercising presented the normal histological picture.
