The mammalian diving response is a remarkable behavior that overrides basic homeostatic
reflexes. It is most studied in large aquatic mammals but is seen in all vertebrates. Pelagic …

Reperfusion injury follows ischemia/reperfusion events occurring during myocardial
infarction, stroke, embolism, and other peripheral vascular diseases. Decreased blood flow …

The transition from land to water in whales and dolphins (cetaceans) was accompanied by
remarkable adaptations. To reveal genomic changes that occurred during this transition, we …

Juvenile piapara (Leporinus elongatus) were progressively exposed to several levels of
dissolved oxygen for 28 days, severe hypoxia, moderate hypoxia and normoxia, while …

Many mammals risk damage from oxidative stress stemming from frequent dives (ie, cycles
of ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia/reoxygenation), high altitude and subterranean …

Juvenile silver fish (Rhamdia quelen) were exposed to the essential oil of Lippia alba and
transported in plastic bags (10 specimens per bag, load density of 140–200g. L− 1) for …

Diving seals experience heart rate reduction and preferential distribution of the oxygenated
blood flow to the heart and brain, widespread peripheral vasoconstriction, and selective …

The molecular basis for adaptations to extreme environments can now be understood by
interrogating the ever‐increasing number of sequenced genomes. Mammals such as …

It is well known that many anoxia/hypoxia tolerant species when exposed to anoxia/hypoxia
respond by increasing the activity/expression of antioxidant enzymes and/or glutathione …

While diving, seals are exposed to apnea-induced hypoxemia and repetitive cycles of
ischemia/reperfusion. While on land, seals experience sleep apnea, as well as prolonged …
