... of Biologists Ltd 2014 Cardiac plasticity Cardiovascular regulation Python molurus bivittatus Reptile Heart Digestion Postprandial SDA Anemia Burmese pythons ( Python bivittatus ) ( Kuhl, 1820 ), like many large snakes, utilize an intermittent ‘sit-and-wait’ feeding strategy, where...

... laevis , was used to investigate the cause of hypothermia-induced anemia. We developed a new model of hypothermia at 5°C and monitored blood cell count and erythropoiesis on several days. Erythrocyte count declined by 30% on the first day following cold exposure (5°C) and mRNA expression of hemeoxygenase...

... in order to broaden our understanding of the characteristics and regulation of native xl EPO. In our previous study we reported that xl EPO mRNA levels did not significantly increase in response to PHZ-induced anemia ( Nogawa-Kosaka et al., 2010 ). However, the increase in erythropoietic activity...

...Emily C. Wagner; Christine A. Stables; Tony D. Williams SUMMARY Reductions in hematological parameters among laying birds are well reported, but the cause of this anemia is not known. We tested specific predictions generated from several, non-mutually exclusive hypotheses for mechanisms underlying...

... acclimation regime to assess the impact of erythrocyte age on skeletal muscle remodeling. Anemia (i.e. phenylhydrazine treatment) did not alter the specific activities (U g -1 tissue) of mitochondrial enzymes in white or red muscle. Anemic pretreatment did not alter the normal pattern of cold-induced...
