Carey, Hannah V., Matthew T. Andrews, and Sandra L. Martin. Mammalian Hibernation:
Cellular and Molecular Responses to Depressed Metabolism and Low Temperature. Physiol …

The adaptive response characterized by a biphasic curve is known as hormesis. In a
hormesis framework, exposure to low doses leads to protective and beneficial responses …

Oxygen in its molecular state O 2, is essential for many metabolic processes that are vital to
aerobic life. Aerobic organisms cannot exist without oxygen, which nevertheless is …

Oxygen is essential for most life forms, but it is also inherently toxic due to its
biotransformation into reactive oxygen species (ROS). In fact, the development of many …

Organisms that tolerate wide variations in oxygen availability, especially to hypoxia, usually
face harsh environmental conditions during their lives. Such conditions include, for example …

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 …

Entry into a hypometabolic state is an important survival strategy for many organisms when
challenged by environmental stress, including low oxygen, cold temperatures and lack of …

Estivation is a state of aerobic hypometabolism used by organisms to endure seasonally
arid conditions, often in desert environments. Estivating species are often active for only a …

The molecular response to hypoxia stress in aquatic invertebrates remains relatively
unknown. In this study, we investigated the response of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas …

Antioxidant defence system, a highly conserved biochemical mechanism, protects
organisms from harmful effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a by‐product of …
