Welfare in Nile Tilapia Production: Dorsal Fin Erection as a Visual Indicator for Insensibility
In aquaculture, to ensure animal welfare in pre-slaughter and slaughter stages, it is fundamental that fish are insensible. A method for evaluating fish insensibility is based on visual sensibility indicators (VSI) assessment (i.e., self-initiated ...

Impacts of Skin Eccrine Glands on the Measured Values of Transepidermal Water Loss
Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is widely used to assess and quantify skin insensible water loss to assess skin’s barrier function integrity. Low TEWL values are normally indicative of intact skin and a healthy functional barrier, whereas an increased ...

Insensible evaporative water loss (EWL) at or below thermoneutrality is generally assumed to be a passive physical process. However, some arid zone mammals and a single arid zone bird can control their insensible water loss, so we tested the hypothesis ...

We present two independent lines of evidence that a tiny dasyurid marsupial, the ningaui (Ningaui spp.), has acute physiological control of its insensible evaporative water loss below and within thermoneutrality.

The effect of agility exercise on eicosanoid excretion, oxidant status, and plasma lactate in dogs
Background The objective was to determine the effects of agility exercise on dogs of different skill levels with respect to urinary eicosanoids, urinary 15F2t-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker) and hematological/biochemical changes in plasma ...
