C24:0 avoids cold exposure-induced oxidative stress and fatty acid β-oxidation damage

iScience, 2021
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).

Peptides for Skin Protection and Healing in Amphibians

Molecules, 2019
Amphibian skin is not to be considered a mere tegument; it has a multitude of functions related to respiration, osmoregulation, and thermoregulation, thus allowing the individuals to survive and thrive in the terrestrial environment.

Kidney disease risk factors do not explain impacts of low dietary protein on kidney function and structure

iScience, 2021
Summary: The kidneys balance many byproducts of the metabolism of dietary components. Previous studies examining dietary effects on kidney health are generally of short duration and manipulate a single macronutrient.

Visual deprivation induces a stronger dive response in a harbor porpoise

iScience, 2023
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 ...

Conservation physiology of animal migration [PDF]

Conservation Physiology, 2016
Migration is a widespread phenomenon among many taxa. This complex behaviour enables animals to exploit many temporally productive and spatially discrete habitats to accrue various fitness benefits (e.g. growth, reproduction, predator avoidance). Human activities and global environmental change represent potential threats to migrating animals (from ...

Effects of carbamazepine on the central nervous system of zebrafish at human therapeutic plasma levels

iScience, 2023
Summary: The fish plasma model (FPM) facilitated the environmental risk assessment of human drugs by using existing data on human therapeutic plasma concentrations (HTPCs) and predicted fish plasma concentrations (FPCs). However, studies on carbamazepine

Myofiber androgen receptor increases muscle strength mediated by a skeletal muscle splicing variant of Mylk4

iScience, 2021
Summary: Androgens have a robust effect on skeletal muscles to increase muscle mass and strength. The molecular mechanism of androgen/androgen receptor (AR) action on muscle strength is still not well known, especially for the regulation of sarcomeric ...
