Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise. Accessing
organisms' responses to these chemically “inert” compounds plays an important role in …

In recent decades, the quantity of plastic waste products has increased tremendously. As
plastic wastes are released into the environment, they exert harmful effects on biota and …

Temperature is a critical abiotic factor sha** the distribution and abundance of species,
but the mechanisms that underpin organismal thermal limits remain poorly understood. One …

Physiologists often assume that mitochondria are the main producers of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) in cells. Consequently, in biomedicine, mitochondria are considered as …

Many animals experience periods of food shortage in their natural environment. It has been
hypothesised that the metabolic responses of animals to naturally‐occurring periods of food …

Boronate-based molecular probes are emerging as one of the most effective tools for
detection and quantitation of peroxynitrite and hydroperoxides. This review discusses the …

Freshwater turtles (Trachemys scripta) are among the very few vertebrates capable of
tolerating severe hypoxia and re-oxygenation without suffering from damage to the heart. As …

Oxidative stress is a crucial concept in redox biology, and significant progress has been
made in recent years. Excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to …

Extremely anoxia-tolerant animals, such as freshwater turtles, survive anoxia and
reoxygenation without sustaining tissue damage to their hearts. In contrast, for mammals, the …

Oxygen (O2) is required for aerobic energy metabolism but can produce reactive oxygen
species (ROS), which are a wide variety of oxidant molecules with a range of biological …
