Epidemiological evidence links an individual's susceptibility to chronic disease in adult life to
events during their intrauterine phase of development. Biologically this should not be …

Large changes in oxygen availability in aquatic environments, ranging from anoxia through
to hyperoxia, can lead to corresponding wide variation in the production of reactive oxygen …

Freezing, dehydration, salinity variations, hypoxia or anoxia are some of the environmental
constraints that many organisms must frequently endure. Organisms adapted to these …

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms, while its absence
from water effectively compromises the health of fish in aquacultures. Here, we simulated …

Hypoxia plays an important role in the development of many infectious, inflammatory, and
tumor diseases. The predisposition to such disorders is mostly provided by differences in …

In the present study, the combined effects of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature
levels on the antioxidant responses of the mussel Mytilus coruscus were evaluated. Mussels …

Abstract Significance: Although oxygen (O2)-sensing cells and tissues have been known for
decades, the identity of the O2-sensing mechanism has remained elusive. Evidence is …

Crustaceans and in particular decapods (ie shrimp, crabs and lobsters) are a diverse,
commercially and ecologically important group of organisms. They are exposed to a range …

The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations has been one of the most important
changes occurring in the oceans, greatly impacting the survival, abundance, development …

Metal contamination is widespread, but only a few studies have evaluated the toxicological
risks of metals (Cd, Cu, and Pb) in earthworms from farmlands in North China (Hebei …
