Lack of Effect of Cecectomy on Oxygen Consumption and Colonic Temperature of Germfree Rats1

Stanley M. Levenson and Dorinne Kan

Department of Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University, Bronx, New York 10461

Oxygen consumption and colonic temperature of germfree rats are lower than those of conventional and conventionalized rats. Cecectomy of weanling germfree rats prevents the development of the very large ceca characteristic of ordinary germfree rats but did not increase oxygen consumption or change colonic temperature.

KEY WORDS: • oxygen consumption • temperature • germfree rats • cecectomy
