Renal Physiological Adaptation to High Altitude: A Systematic Review
Background: Under normal physiological conditions, renal tissue oxygen is tightly regulated. At high altitude, a physiological challenge is imposed by the decrease in atmospheric oxygen.

Physiological Genomics of Adaptation to High-Altitude Hypoxia.
Population genomic studies of humans and other animals at high altitude have generated many hypotheses about the genes and pathways that may have contributed to hypoxia adaptation. Future advances require experimental tests of such hypotheses to identify

Short photoperiod-induced decrease of histamine H3 receptors facilitates activation of hypothalamic neurons in the Siberian Hamster [PDF]
Nonhibernating seasonal mammals have adapted to temporal changes in food availability through behavioral and physiological mechanisms to store food and energy during times of predictable plenty and conserve energy during predicted shortage.

The Impact of Equine-Assisted Therapy on Equine Behavioral and Physiological Responses
Equine-assisted therapies (EATs) have been widely used in the treatment of patients with mental or physical conditions. However, studies on the influence of equine-assisted therapy (EAT) on equine welfare are very recent, and the need for further ...
