Symmorphosis in the proximal pathway for oxygen in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini.
In this report, we explore the matching of structures to functional needs by comparing previously reported data of maximal oxygen consumption and the development of the lung in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini in warm and cold environments. We discuss whether the state of structural design is commensurate with functional needs from regulated morphogenesis as predicted by the hypothesis of...
متن کاملEffect of Gestational Diabetes on Purkinje and Granule Cells Distribution of the Rat Cerebellum in 21 and 28 days of Postnatal Life
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is associated with nervous system alterations in both human and animal models. This study was done to determine the effect of gestational diabetes on the Purkinje and granular cells in the cerebellum of rat offspring. Methods: 10 Wistar rats Dams were randomly allocated in control and diabetic group. The experimental group received 40 mg/kg/body wei...
متن کاملBody size as a latent variable in a structural equation model: thermal acclimation and energetics of the leaf-eared mouse.
Body size is one of the most important determinants of energy metabolism in mammals. However, the usual physiological variables measured to characterize energy metabolism and heat dissipation in endotherms are strongly affected by thermal acclimation, and are also correlated among themselves. In addition to choosing the appropriate measurement of body size, these problems create additional comp...
متن کاملO-25: The Effect of Environmental Contaminants Endocrine-Disrupting PBBs and PBDEs on Reproduction and Fertility Outcomes
Background: Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) are semi-permanent Halogenated compounds that are mainly used in flame retardant. These contaminants as endocrinedisrupting associated with dysfunction of immune, endocrine and nervous systems. Influence various physiological processes such as menarche, birth weight, fetus growth and development, head circumf...
متن کاملEffect of Administration of Lidocaine at Body Temperature on Anesthesia Success in Rodent Model: A Behavior and Electrophysiology Study
Introduction: Success in anesthesia administration relieves the perception of pain during surgery. Lidocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic agent in clinical medicine. Moreover, anesthetic agents' temperature changes can influence cell membrane permeability. Here, the effectiveness of different temperatures of lidocaine (Lid.) on anesthesia success rate in rats has been investigated...
