Low energy reserves are associated with fasting susceptibility in Neotropical nectar bats Glossophaga soricina

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract Neotropical nectar-feeding bats consume large amounts of sugar and use most of their energy-rich diet directly from the bloodstream, suggesting an adaptation towards lower body energy reserves. Here we tested the hypothesis that bats Glossophaga soricina spare the energy costs of storing energy...

Protein and lipid metabolism adjustments in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) during different periods of fasting and refeeding

Braz. j. biol; 78 (3), 2018
Abstract The fish may experience periods of food deprivation or starvation which produce metabolic changes. In this study, adult Rhamdia quelen males were subjected to fasting periods of 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and of refeeding 2, 4, 6, and 12 days. The results demonstrated that liver protein was depleted ...

Is willingness to exercise programmed in utero? Reviewing sedentary behavior and the benefits of physical activity in intrauterine growth restricted individuals

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objective: The literature suggests that a fetus will adapt to surrounding adversities by optimizing its use of energy to improve survival, ultimately leading to the programming of the individual's energy intake and expenditure. While recent reviews focused on the fetal programming of energy int...

Energy expenditure, growth, and nutritional therapy in appropriate and small for gestational age preterm infants

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the resting energy expenditure, growth, and quantity of energy and macronutrients intake in a group of preterm newborns. Methods: The cohort study was performed with appropriate and small for gestational age preterm infants (birth weight lower than 1500 g or gestational ...

Clinical application of thermography for energy balance in athletes - state of the art and new paradigms

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (6), 2018
This article aims to describe the evolution of techniques that have enabled the proper application of the Laws of Thermodynamics for physical activity and athletes. The objective is to propose performance indicators to help add information to the current indices used in medicine and sports, such as the l...

Oxygen consumption and energy expenditure during and after street games, active video games and tv

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (5), 2018
INTRODUCTION: Physical activity has become less frequent since the 1980s, even among more active children. OBJECTIVE: To analyze excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in children during and after three different activities. METHODS: Sixteen healthy children (9....

The dynamics of energy metabolism in the tick embryo

Abstract The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an ectoparasite capable of transmitting a large number of pathogens, causing considerable losses in the cattle industry, with substantial damage to livestock. Over the years, important stages of its life cycle, such as the embryo, have been...

Effects of taurine supplementation in elite swimmers performance

Motriz (Online); 24 (1), 2018
AIM: Taurine is considered a semi-essential amino acid characterized by having various physiological functions in the body that modulate mechanisms of action involved in the muscle contraction process, increased energy expenditure, insulin signaling pathway, carbohydrate metabolism, and scavenging free r...

Autofagia, una estrategia de supervivencia celular
Autophagy. A strategy for cell survival

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (4), 2017
La autofagia es un proceso de reciclado de partes de la célula. Como se describe en esta revisión, ocurre naturalmente preservando a las células de la acumulación de toxinas, moléculas y organelas dañadas y además permite los procesos de desarrollo y diferenciación de los tejidos. En el transcurs...
