...Marjoriane de Amaral; Maiza Cristina Von Dentz; Suyllieme Machado David; Luiz Carlos Kucharski ABSTRACT Anurans undergo significant physiological changes when exposed to environmental stressors such as low temperatures and humidity. Energy metabolism and substrate management play a crucial role...

... stage, epigenetic mechanisms may be responsible for the altered basal expression of HSPs observed in this study. Although the specific role of epigenetics in the intergenerational plasticity of molecular chaperones in response to environmental stressors is yet unclear, various HSPs are known methylation...

... and embryo cortisol levels suggests the existence of barriers against cortisol deposition in response to environmental stressors. We conclude that the endocrine and cellular stress responses make stressor-specific and distinct contributions to non-genetic inheritance. * Author for correspondence...

...: Severe acute hypoxia exposure in larval zebrafish significantly decreases forebrain neural proliferation but does not affect the long-term capacity to mount a cortisol stress response. Environmental stressors Neural proliferation Stress response Hypoxia tolerance Developmental programming...

... dictate tolerance thresholds to heightened environmental stressors, such that stress may not be equally felt across individuals and at all times. Also, the transcriptional responses induced by environmental changes can reflect both generalized responses as well as others that are highly specific...
