...Birgitte Jensen; Sibile Pardue; Christopher G. Kevil; Angela Fago ABSTRACT Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) controls numerous physiological responses. To understand its proposed role in metabolic suppression, we measured free H 2 S and bound sulfane sulfur (BSS) in tissues of the freshwater turtle...

.... To better understand the ventilatory mechanisms that accompany the process of metabolic suppression in these top oceanic predators, we exposed juvenile D. gigas to the oxygen levels found in the OMZ (1% O 2 , 1 kPa, 10°C) and measured metabolic rate, activity cycling patterns, swimming mode, escape jet...

...Brad A. Seibel Summary The survival of oceanic organisms in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) depends on their total oxygen demand and the capacities for oxygen extraction and transport, anaerobic ATP production and metabolic suppression. Anaerobic metabolism and metabolic suppression are required...

Even so, there are representatives among cyclostomes, elasmobranchs and teleosts...

... stress associated with arousal thermogenesis. A mechanism that may be central to metabolic suppression during entrance into and maintenance of torpor involves a change in thermoregulatory set point( Florant and Heller, 1977 ). The mammalian thermostat is located in the preoptic anterior hypothalamus...
