... rapidly (by 3 h) after stretching. The character of signaling in SC activation on zebrafish fibers, in particular temperature-dependent responses to HGF and stretch, gives new insights into the influence of ectothermy on regulation of muscle growth in teleosts and suggests the use of the single-fiber...

... temperature ectothermy teleosts brain common carp Cyprinus carpio Ectothermy offers animals many advantages over endothermy, which include low energy costs for living, and therefore decreased foraging times and exposure to predators. The consequent minimization of locomotion, which consumes most...

... not been directly examined in relation to different `thermal states', namely ectothermy vs endothermy. By using avian development as a model system for transition from ectothermy to endothermy, we show that, in contrast to the ectothermic state, in the endothermic state the organism is more resistant...

... are likely to be around 30 times greater than those for an equivalent-sized ectotherm, much greater than the 15 × difference expected during the warm seasons. Endothermy is a very expensive life-style compared to ectothermy. There are large differences in daily energy expenditures (FMRs) among equal...
