Abstract Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have received increasing interest due to
their distinctive properties, including small particle size, high surface area, and reactivity …

Thermal acclimation causes the heart of some fish species to undergo significant
remodelling. This includes changes in electrical activity, energy utilization and structural …

SUMMARY The Frank–Starling law of the heart applies to all classes of vertebrates. It
describes how stretch of cardiac muscle, up to an optimum length, increases contractility …

In the present review, we synthesize information on the mechanisms of chronic copper (Cu)
toxicity using an adverse outcome pathway framework and identify three primary pathways …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are widely used as vertebrate model in developmental genetics and
functional genomics as well as in cardiac structure-function studies. The zebrafish heart has …

The sensing and processing of hypoxic signals, the responses to these signals and the
modulation of these responses by other physical and physiological factors are an immense …

In the 1950s, Arthur C. Guyton removed the heart from its pedestal in cardiovascular
physiology by arguing that cardiac output is primarily regulated by the peripheral …

Bird cardiomyocytes are long, thin and lack transverse (t)-tubules, which is akin to the
cardiomyocyte morphology of ectothermic non-avian reptiles, who are typified by low …

Goldfish tolerate prolonged and severe hypoxia, thus representing a well-suited model to
study the maintenance of cardiac function when O 2 availability represents a limiting factor …

Iron and steel industries discharge a large amount of atmospheric particulate matter (PM)
containing metals and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) that contaminate not only the air, but …
