A low mass-to-light ratio for the baryonic component of spiral galaxies is
advocated by a number of dynamical studies and by cosmological simulations of
galaxy formation. We discuss the possibility of obtaining low mass-to-light
ratios for the stellar component in discs, by changing the Initial Mass
Function and the Star Formation History.
