title: Regulation of weight loss in male farm mink.
abstract: 1. Regulation of weight loss was studied in wild mink (Mustela vision) under farm conditions. 2. Body weight of male minks was already adjusted to a low level before the mating season. 3. Weight loss was a result of changes in energy expenditure and energy intake. 4. This study emphasizes the dynamic nature of seasonal energy regulation.
