Abstract:
... Heat stress (HS) in summer will seriously affect the health and performance of dairy cows. To alleviate the injury to dairy cows caused by HS, we added the rumen-bypassed tributyrin to the feed. We determined whether cows were in a heat-stressed environment by testing the temperature humidity index in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. The detection of anal temperature and respiratory frequ ...

Abstract:
... Plankton community respiration (R) is a major component of the carbon flux in aquatic ecosystems. However, current methods to measure actual respiration from oxygen consumption at relevant spatial scales are not sensitive enough in oligotrophic environments where respiration rates are very low. To overcome this drawback, more sensitive indirect enzymatic approaches are commonly used as R proxies. ...

Abstract:
... Mitochondrial respiration and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity are required during salt stress in plants to provide ATP and reductants for adaptive processes such as ion exclusion, compatible solute synthesis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification. However, there is a poor mechanistic understanding of how salinity affects mitochondrial metabolism, particularly respiratory substrat ...
