Surviving anoxia with the brain turned on.

چکیده

Crucian carp is one of few vertebrates that tolerate anoxia. It maintains brain ATP during anoxia partially by reducing ATP consumption. However, unlike turtles, which become comatose during anoxia, this fish remains physically active. This striking difference in anoxic survival strategy is reflected all the way down to the cellular level.

A review on recent techniques for elimination of fish fertilized egg adhesiveness

The eggs of many fresh water fishes become sticky after activation and contact with water. The stickiness property is caused by presence of glycoprotein molecules in outer layer of eggs. In sturgeons the fourth layer of egg (jelly coat) leaks after contacting with water. In teleosts outer zona-radiate is responsible for stickiness. Egg stickiness is important in natural reproduction, whereas eg...

Delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy without relation to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy (DPE) not related to carbon monoxide has rarely been reported and usually carries a poor prognosis. We describe two surviving patients with such DPE and its neuro-otological characteristics. The DPE was caused by shock due to hemorrhage in a 21-year-old student, and by severe hypoxia and hypotension in a 60-year-old man. Our findings suggest that this type of ...

The role of MEF2 transcription factors in dehydration and anoxia survival in Rana sylvatica skeletal muscle

The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) can endure freezing of up to 65% of total body water during winter. When frozen, wood frogs enter a dormant state characterized by a cessation of vital functions (i.e., no heartbeat, blood circulation, breathing, brain activity, or movement). Wood frogs utilize various behavioural and biochemical adaptations to survive extreme freezing and component anoxia and deh...
