Persistence of weight gain and hibernation onset in juvenile thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) in spite of long-term administration of naloxone.
Sexual differences in body weight of juvenile thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) were significant (P less than 0.05) at all weeks of age except weeks 0-4, 6, 7, 9, 20 and 24. Hibernation onset between sexes did not differ significantly. Naloxone administration did not alter weight gain nor onset of hibernation when compared to saline controls.
