Seasonal adaptation of the cardiovascular system in rabbits

Analysis of the effects of seasonal changes in the myocardium on variability of arterial and intraventricular pressure in both ventricles showed that the objects of homeostatic regulation were the values of these parameters and their probability distribution. The adaptation mechanisms are mainly visualized by the analysis of the characteristics of probability distribution of the parameters (asymmetry and excess coefficients). © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2008.
