Spinal cord injury (SCI) pathology and pathophysiology can be attributed to both primary physical injury and secondary injury cascades. Secondary injury cascades involve dysregulated metabolism and energetic deficits directly linked to compromised ...

Intraspecific variation and trade-off in aerobic and anaerobic traits remain poorly understood in aquatic locomotion. Using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), both axial swimmers, this study tested four ...

Abstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.

Nitrogen excretion and oxygen consumption under severe hypoxia in siluriform fishes from the Amazon
Abstract Siluriform fishes collected from the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões proved to be highly resistant to aquatic hypoxia. In all four species analysed in this study, aquatic oxygen consumption significantly decreased from normoxic levels at water PO2 values near 1 kPa. Air‐breathing activity was observed only in Sturisoma sp. (Rio Negro).

Aerobic scope is sustained through a heatwave in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Abstract Aquatic ectotherms are vulnerable to heatwave‐induced physiological stress, which arises from increased energy demands and reduced dissolved oxygen content in warmer waters. Understanding thermal physiology is critical for predicting how commercially and ecologically important populations could be affected by the increasing risk of rising ...

Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

The intensification of animal production has substantially increased productivity, yet it has concurrently increased the metabolic vulnerability of livestock and poultry. Traditional biomarkers often lack sensitivity and fail to capture early or systemic

Rapid automated detection of nitrification kinetics using respirometry
There is no doubt that respirometry is a useful measurement principle in the field of wastewater treatment. Although a large variety of methods and case studies have been published, respirometry has become neither a standard tool for control nor for assessment and optimisation of treatment plants. The drawback of the conventional method for determining

In vitro muscle contraction: A technical review on electrical pulse stimulation in C2C12 cells
Abstract Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of skeletal muscle cells is increasingly used to model exercise In vitro. The murine C2C12 myotube system has become a common platform for such studies, yet wide variability in EPS protocols hampers reproducibility and cross‐study comparisons.

The Preservation of Muscle Mitochondrial Machinery During Hypometabolic Hibernation in Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.
