Many environmental conditions can constrain the ability of animals to obtain sufficient food
energy, or transform that food energy into useful chemical forms. To survive extended …

Torpor and hibernation are powerful strategies enabling animals to survive periods of low
resource availability. The state of torpor results from an active and drastic reduction of an …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

Mammalian hibernation consists of periods of depressed metabolism and reduced body
temperature called “torpor” that are interspersed by normothermic arousal periods …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have strong effects on hibernation and daily torpor.
Increased dietary uptake of PUFA of the n-6 class, particularly of Linoleic acid (LA, C18: 2 n …

For long-duration manned space missions to Mars and beyond, reduction of astronaut
metabolism by torpor, the metabolic state during hibernation of animals, would be a game …

During hibernation, small mammals alternate between periods of metabolic suppression
and low body temperature ('torpor') and periods of full metabolic recovery with euthermic …

Werner syndrome (WS) protein is involved in DNA repair and its truncation causes Werner
syndrome, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder with a premature aging phenotype …

Use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) was adopted in clinical practice to
assess the quality of marginal donor lungs. Subnormothermic perfusion temperatures are in …

Hibernation is an adaptive strategy for surviving during periods with little or no food
availability, by profoundly reducing the metabolic rate and the core body temperature (T b) …
