dc.description.abstractBurrowing mammals usually have low respiratory sensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia. However, the interaction between ventilation (V), metabolism and body temperature (Tb) during hypoxic-hypercapnia has never been addressed. We tested the hypothesis that Clyomys bishopi, a burrowing rodent of the Brazilian cerrado, shows a small ventilatory response to hypoxic-hypercapnia, accompanied by a marked drop in Tb and metabolism. V, Tb and O-2 consumption (VO2) of C. bishopi were measured during exposure to air, hypoxia (10% and 7% O-2), hypercapnia (3% and 5% CO2) and hypoxic-hypercapnia (10% O-2 + 3% CO2). Hypoxia of 7% but not 10%, caused a significant increase in V, and a significant drop in Tb. Both hypoxic levels decreased VO2 and 7% O-2 significantly increased V/VO2. Hypercapnia of 5%, but not 3%, elicited a significant increase in V, although no significant change in Tb, VO2 or V/VO2 was detected. A combination of 10% O-2 and 3% CO2 had minor effects on V and Tb, while VO2 decreased and V/VO2 tended to increase. We conclude that C. bishopi has a low sensitivity not only to hypoxia and hypercapnia, but also to hypoxic-hypercapnia, manifested by a biphasic ventilatory response, a drop in metabolism and a tendency to increase V/VO2. The effect of hypoxic-hypercapnia was the summation of the hypoxia and hypercapnia effects, with respiratory responses tending to have hypercapnic patterns while metabolic responses, hypoxic patterns.
