ABSTRACT Nitrogen recycling and amino acid synthesis are two notable ways in which the gut microbiome can contribute to host metabolism, these processes especially important nitrogen-limited animals. Marine elasmobranchs nitrogen limited as they require substantial amounts of this element support urea-based osmoregulation. However, following antibiotic-induced depletion microbiome, known experience a significant decline circulating urea employ compensatory conservation strategies such...
Sharks are collected from the wild as live specimens for display in aquariums and use research. The methods by which sharks captured transported can be associated with sub-lethal physiological outcomes or even mortality, requires evaluation to determine optimal collection transport a given species. present study evaluated primary (i.e., endocrine) secondary biochemical) stress responses mortality Pacific spiny dogfish ( Squalus suckleyi) following capture subsequent between experimental...
High altitude is one of the most extreme environments inhabited by endotherms, where cold temperatures demand high rates thermogenesis to maintain body temperature (T b ) but hypoxia constrains aerobic metabolism. Recent findings suggest that gut microbiome contributes whole-body thermogenesis, its significance for coping in remains poorly understood. We hypothesized adaptive increases thermogenic performance deer mice native altitude. Mice from populations and low were born raised adulthood...
Chromosome movement speeds during anaphase are regulated by depolymerization of microtubules. Several models describe chromosome cell division but none them consider post-translational modifications tubulin, even though such help specify microtubules for unique cellular activities. Among these modifications, acetylation Lysine 40 is one the common modifications. Acetylation greatly improves their stability, especially when subjected to cooling or drug treatment. Since kinetochore acetylated...
