... their neurodevelopment. Temperature influences the composition of the gut microbiota, which is critical to host neurodevelopment through the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Most research investigating the link between the gut microbiota and neurodevelopment occurs in germ-free mammalian model systems, leaving...

...Gil Y. Yerushalmi; Lidiya Misyura; Heath A. MacMillan; Andrew Donini ABSTRACT At low temperatures, Drosophila , like most insects, lose the ability to regulate ion and water balance across the gut epithelia, which can lead to a lethal increase of [K + ] in the hemolymph (hyperkalemia). Cold...

... loads largely outside the ECF, in the lumen of the gut. This strategy may be related to the apparent absence of Malpighian tubules in aphids. Other insects can suspend ECF homeostasis altogether in order to survive extreme temperatures. Thus, ECF homeostasis in insects is highly dynamic and plastic...

... activity, had no effect on the T c , whereas ingestion of nesting soil, which contained two classes of potent INA, markedly reduced the supercooling capacity of summer turtles. This effect persisted long after the turtles had purged their guts of soil particles, because the T c of winter turtles reared...

.... VIP increased the blood flow to the gut by increasing cardiac output and by decreasing resistance in the vascular bed supplied by the coeliac artery. In addition, VIP had an inhibitory effect on spontaneous stomach motility. SP induced a triphasic response in the coeliac artery blood flow. An initial...
