Blood iodide increases in hibernating Arctic ground squirrels. Black dots represent plasma iodide values in summer active squirrels, n = 11, mean = 53 ng/mL, sd = 22, sem = 6.7, range = 25–93 ng/mL. Blue dots are early torpor, n = 6, mean = 76 ng/mL, sd = 44, sem = 18, range = 0–136 ng/mL. Red dots are late torpor, n = 8, mean = 177 ng/mL, sd = 134, sem = 48, range = 0–390 ng/mL. Purple dots are interbout aroused, n = 9, mean = 168 ng/mL, sd = 104, sem = 35, range = 70–334. t test using Welch’s correction for unequal variance comparing: active versus early torpor, p = 0.09; active versus late torpor, p = 0.018; active versus interbout aroused, p = 0.005; early versus late torpor, p = 0.04; early torpor versus interbout aroused, p = 0.031; late torpor versus interbout aroused, p = 0.4.
