Parasitism by the Tachinid Parasitoid Exorista japonica Leads to Suppression of Basal Metabolism and Activation of Immune Response in the Host Bombyx mori [PDF]
Insects, 2022 The dipteran tachinid parasitoids are important biocontrol agents, and they must survive the harsh environment and rely on the resources of the host insect to complete their larval stage.

Indirect Basal Metabolism Estimation in Tailoring Recombinant Human TSH Administration in Patients Affected by Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Hypothesis-Generating Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 PurposeRecombinant human TSH (rhTSH) is currently used in follow-up of patients affected by differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Age, sex, weight, body mass index, body surface area (BSA) and renal function are known factors affecting serum TSH peak ...

Biomass Turnover Rates in Metabolically Active and Inactive Marine Calanoid Copepods
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Lipid-storing copepods are fundamental to the functioning of marine ecosystems, transferring energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels and sequestering atmospheric carbon (C) in the deep ocean. Quantifying trophic transfer and biogeochemical
