On average, the starvation response of the individuals after isolation was a 750-kilojoule (180-kilocalorie) reduction in daily total energy expenditure. 250 kJ (60 kcal) of the starvation response was explained by a reduction in fat-free mass and fat mass. An additional 270 kJ (65 kcal) was explained by a reduction in fidgeting. The remaining ...
Although relatively uncommon, a small number of mammals aestivate. [17] Animal physiologist Kathrin Dausmann of Philipps University of Marburg , Germany, and coworkers presented evidence in a 2004 edition of Nature that the Malagasy fat-tailed dwarf lemur hibernates or aestivates in a small tree hole for seven months of the year.

This appears to echo the greater need for REM sleep among newborns than among adults in most mammal species. Many mammals sleep for a large proportion of each 24-hour period when they are very young. [66] The giraffe only sleeps 2 hours a day in about 5–15 minute sessions. Koalas are the longest sleeping-mammals, about 20–22 hours a day.
Sleep plays a vital role in regulating metabolism and appetite. When sleep deprived, the metabolic system will be out of balance, which will ultimately affect the dietary choices people make. Teens who are sleep deprived crave more carbohydrates. Sleep deprivation is a risk factor for obesity among young adults. [7] [medical citation needed]
Larger species become hyperphagic, eating a large amount of food and storing the energy in their bodies in the form of fat deposits. In many small species, food caching replaces eating and becoming fat. [4] Some species of mammals hibernate while gestating young, which are born either while the mother hibernates or shortly afterwards. [5]

The basal metabolic rate accounts for about 70% of the daily calorie expenditure by individuals. It is influenced by several factors. In humans, BMR typically declines by 1–2% per decade after age 20, mostly due to loss of fat-free mass, [3] although the variability between individuals is high. [4]
