Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1952 SummaryAlthough alligators are quite active in the winter if the temperature is high they have a pronounced hypoglycemia and no appetite. There is no seasonal change in metabolic rate in either the alligator or caiman. The caiman does not hibernate. Pituitary powder produces prolonged hyperglycemia and increases the metabolic rate.

HIBERNATION OF COLEOPTERA [PDF]
The Canadian Entomologist, 1885 The condition in which Coleoptera pass the winter is a subject on which there are in American literature but few recorded observations. That no species hibernates in the egg stage is highly probable, though in all the others it occurs—some wintering in the perfect state alone, some in the larva and the imago condition, and others as larva and pupa.Many

iScience, 2020 Summary: Many ectotherms hibernate in face of the harsh winter conditions to improve their survival rate. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unclear.

Cold resistance of mammalian hibernators ∼ a matter of ferroptosis?
Frontiers in PhysiologyMost mammals adapt thermal physiology around 37°C and large deviations from their range, as observed in severe hypothermia and hyperthermia, resulting in organ dysfunction and individual death. A prominent exception is mammalian hibernation.

Comparison of brain transcriptome of the greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) in active and torpid episodes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hibernation is an energy-saving strategy which is widely adopted by heterothermic mammals to survive in the harsh environment. The greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) can hibernate for a long period in the hibernation season.

Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe gut microbiota plays a crucial role in host immunity and metabolism and may facilitate the adaptation of invasive species to new environments. During hibernation, gut microbial communities undergo compositional shifts to help hosts cope with low ...

Heart, 2004 In the early 1980s Rahimtoola reviewed the results of coronary bypass surgery trials1 and identified patients with coronary artery disease and chronic left ventricular dysfunction that improved upon revascularisation. The results of medical treatment for ischaemic cardiomyopathy have been poor.

Animals(1) Background: Hibernation in Lutrasil-covered enclosures led to elevated mortality rates for Cornu aspersum on Romanian farms. This two-year study evaluated the feasibility of adapting indoor hibernation technology to the Italian outdoor snail farming (

Psychological Hibernation in Antarctica [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Human activity in Antarctica has increased sharply in recent years. In particular during the winter months, people are exposed to long periods of isolation and confinement and an extreme physical environment that poses risks to health, well-being and performance.
