Fetal liver blood flow distribution: role in human developmental strategy to prioritize fat deposition versus brain development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Among primates, human neonates have the largest brains but also the highest proportion of body fat. If placental nutrient supply is limited, the fetus faces a dilemma: should resources be allocated to brain growth, or to fat deposition for use as a ...

Floral shape and color impact heat accumulation and thermal stability of the floral microenvironment in a subalpine meadow

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The floral thermal microenvironment impacts plant reproduction through its effects on gametophyte performance and plant–pollinator interactions. Color and shape are axes of floral variation that may mediate floral temperature because they affect the absorption and reflection of solar radiation, but their interactive effects are unclear.

Effects of age, density, and seasonality on molt pattern in the mammal genus (Peromyscus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Molting, or replacement of pelage (hair) in mammals, occurs during ontogeny as individuals transition from juveniles to adults. Environmental factors can cause variation in molt in many species for thermoregulatory and camouflage purposes.

Evaluation of a modified triple‐combination anesthesia using dexmedetomidine in mice

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Development of a modified ketamine‐free anesthetic (dMMB) using dexmedetomidine. To improve the safety and recovery profile of conventional MMB, we developed dMMB by replacing medetomidine with dexmedetomidine. This ketamine‐free formulation showed comparable anesthetic depth and enhanced thermoregulation, avoiding unnecessary isomers for safer use ...

Brain serotonin and dopamine modulators, perceptual responses and endurance performance during exercise in the heat following creatine supplementation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background:The present experiment examined the responses of peripheral modulators and indices of brain serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) function and their association with perception of effort during prolonged exercise in the heat after creatine (Cr ...

Multifunctional Hydrogel‐Based wound Dressings for Scar‐Free Healing: Design Principles, Therapeutic Mechanisms, and Clinical Translation Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review integrates scar biology with hydrogel‐based therapeutic strategies, offering a phase‐specific framework to correlate hydrogel functions with scar‐influencing events. It highlights innovations such as stimuli‐responsive hydrogels, nanocomposite systems, and 3D‐printed scaffolds, while addressing clinical translation challenges like ...

Effect of Ambient Temperature on Body Temperature and Rest Metabolic Rate in Apodemus chevrieri During Postnatal Development [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014
In order to investigate the ability of constant temperature and thermoregulation in Apodemus chevrieri, body temperature and rest metabolic rate (RMR) were measured during postnatal development (1~42 day) when the A.

Temperature exposure and possible thermoregulation strategies in the Titicaca water frog Telmatobius culeus, a fully aquatic frog of the High Andes

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2018
Temperature has an important effect on amphibians, influencing virtually all physiological systems. Thermoregulation is used to manage unfavourable thermal conditions, but has been poorly studied in aquatic amphibians, and no information is available for

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.
