Output from VIP cells of the mammalian central clock regulates daily physiological rhythms [PDF]
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian clock is critical for optimising daily cycles in mammalian physiology and behaviour. The roles of the various SCN cell types in communicating timing information to downstream physiological systems remain ...

C24:0 avoids cold exposure-induced oxidative stress and fatty acid β-oxidation damage
Summary: Low temperatures can cause severe growth inhibition and mortality in fish. Previous studies about the cold resistance of fish mainly focused on the role of unsaturated fatty acids, rather than saturated fatty acids (SFAs).

“Do Not Kill Guinea Pig before Setting up Apparatus”: The Kymograph's Lost Educational Context [PDF]
The objects of science education are transformed, degraded and disappeared for many reasons, and sometimes take other things with them when they go. This close reading of an undergraduate physiology laboratory report demonstrates how the kymograph was ...

Urine cortisol in pigs of different MH-genotypes
Urine cortisol concentration was evaluated in German Landrace barrows of two MH-genotypes (NN, Nn) housed in metabolic cages. Furthermore, cortisol in urine was evaluated as a substitute measure of plasma cortisol values in pigs.

Visual deprivation induces a stronger dive response in a harbor porpoise
Summary: The dive response allows marine mammals to perform prolonged breath-hold dives to access rich marine prey resources. Via dynamic adjustments of peripheral vasoconstriction and bradycardia, oxygen consumption can be tailored to breath-hold ...
