Sažetak
ABSTRACT: The differences between comparative physiology and evolutionary physiology are explained. The article refers to Darwin’s opinion on animal experimentation in physiology. Comparative and evolutionary approach to physiological problem solving is illustrated through presentation of two separate but related studies. Development of mice model in hypometabolism is the first presented study and is discussed here in light of other related study of comparative phylogenetic pattern of ganglioside distribution in brain of vertebrates. The potential of mice as a model animal for torpor induction and role of gangliosides in hypometabolic states from the viewpoint of thermoregulation in different wild species are discussed. Two animal models are compared. Both studies in which author participated for years present two different approach in comparative physiology.
