...Guojin Wu; Zandong Li SUMMARY It has been speculated that free amino acids digested from proteins in bird eggs are transported to the circulation for the nourishment of the embryo. In the present study, we found that early chicken embryo protein in the serum might be utilized efficiently...

...Juli L. Black; Warren W. Burggren SUMMARY Hypothermic incubation reduces the ability of the late-stage chicken embryo to mount endothermic heat production. This study investigates whether blood O 2 transport is similarly limited by cooler incubation temperatures. Two populations of chicken embryos...

...Juli L. Black; Warren W. Burggren SUMMARY Chronic exposure to a low incubation temperature clearly slows the development of poikilothemic chicken embryos (or any other poikilotherms), but little is known about the more subtle developmental effects of temperature,especially on physiological...
