central role in all life processes and serves as a link between the organismal physiology …

Energy homeostasis as an integrative tool for assessing limits of environmental stress tolerance in aquatic invertebrates

IM Sokolova, M Frederich, R Bagwe, G Lannig… - Marine environmental …, 2012‏ - Elsevier
Energy balance is a fundamental requirement of stress adaptation and tolerance. We
explore the links between metabolism, energy balance and stress tolerance using aquatic …

Beyond the '3/4-power law': variation in the intra-and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals

DS Glazier - Biological reviews, 2005‏ - cambridge.org
In this review I show that the '3/4-power scaling law'of metabolic rate is not universal, either
within or among animal species. Significant variation in the scaling of metabolic rate with …

Life and death: metabolic rate, membrane composition, and life span of animals

AJ Hulbert, R Pamplona, R Buffenstein… - Physiological …, 2007‏ - journals.physiology.org
Maximum life span differences among animal species exceed life span variation achieved
by experimental manipulation by orders of magnitude. The differences in the characteristic …

Coevolution of body size and metabolic rate in vertebrates: a life‐history perspective

J Kozłowski, M Konarzewski… - Biological Reviews, 2020‏ - Wiley Online Library
Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

[HTML][HTML] Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): an ancient nutrient for the modern human brain

J Bradbury - Nutrients, 2011‏ - mdpi.com
Modern humans have evolved with a staple source of preformed docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) in the diet. An important turning point in human evolution was the discovery of high …

Muscle non-shivering thermogenesis and its role in the evolution of endothermy

J Nowack, S Giroud, W Arnold, T Ruf - Frontiers in physiology, 2017‏ - frontiersin.org
The development of sustained, long-term endothermy was one of the major transitions in the
evolution of vertebrates. Thermogenesis in endotherms does not only occur via shivering or …

Metabolic responses to low temperature in fish muscle

H Guderley - Biological reviews, 2004‏ - cambridge.org
For most fish, body temperature is very close to that of the habitat. The diversity of thermal
habitats exploited by fish as well as their capacity to adapt to thermal change makes them …

Thyroid hormones and their effects: a new perspective
