How Cells Cope with Obesity
Currently, more than 2.7 million American adults are diagnosed as obese each year. Many of these people suffer from a disorder known as metabolic syndrome, which includes symptoms like hypertension and elevated blood cholesterol. They are also at risk for developing additional diseases such as heart disease and diabetes mellitus. In fact, obesity may be a major cause of all these problems ... t...
متن کاملGrowth and Appetite of Juvenile Lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens
–Growth rates of juvenile lake sturgeon (initial weight 8 to 9 g, temperature 17.5° C), fed twice a day on brown worms for 56 days increased from -1.5% BW/d (% body wet weight/day) at zero ration to 2.6% BW/d at a ration of 13.2% BW/d. Maintenance ration was 1.6% BW/d. Fish fed larger rations had higher energy densities and lower water content. Appetite (average volitional daily food consumptio...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis of Lake Sturgeon Tissue Relative to Sex Determination
Background(s) and Objective(s) In mammals and birds, sex is dictated by the chromosomal constitution and is thus genetic (mammalian males are XY and females are XX). However, many fi shes have environmental sex determination without sex chromosomes. Their sex is determined by egg incubation temperature or by social status. The objective of this project was to evaluate the working hypothesis tha...
متن کاملUse of navigation channels by Lake Sturgeon: Does channelization increase vulnerability of fish to ship strikes?
Channelization for navigation and flood control has altered the hydrology and bathymetry of many large rivers with unknown consequences for fish species that undergo riverine migrations. In this study, we investigated whether altered flow distributions and bathymetry associated with channelization attracted migrating Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) into commercial navigation channels, pote...
متن کاملHow Animals Use and Cope with Gravity
Since the dawn of life on Earth some four billions of years ago, gravity has been a more or less stable environmental factor thus influencing the phylogenetic development of all living organisms. On the one side, gravity represents a factor of physical restriction, which compelled the ancestors of all extant living beings to develop basic achievements to counter the gravitational force (e.g., e...
