Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of the control of circulation during hibernation begins with a general description of hibernation as it occurs in various groups of mammals and outlines the difficulties in the physiological study of hibernation. There fol lows a more detailed description of the three phases of hibernation - entering hibernation, in deep hibernation, and waking from the hiber nating state. The bulk of the review concerns research on rodents, which have been the most intensively studied of the animals which hiber nate. It is emphasized that hibernation, at least in this groups, is a precisely controlled series of physiological changes in which the animal maintains a homeostatic condition at all times in spite of profound changes in body temperature.
Download or read book Hibernation and Torpor in Mammals and Birds written by Charles P Lyman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-07-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hibernation and Torpor in Mammals and Birds explores the physiological factors that control hibernation and torpor in birds and mammals. This text covers topics ranging from metabolism in hibernation to the role of endocrines, respiration and acid-base state in hibernation, and theories of hibernation. This book is comprised of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of some clear-cut definitions and why mammals and birds hibernate. The reader is then introduced to the variations from euthermia that have been observed among birds and mammals. To give some structure to this listing, the approach is phylogenetic, starting with the birds and proceeding through the primitive to the more advanced mammals. Subsequent chapters explains the process of entering hibernation and the hibernating state, itself; capability of a species in natural hibernation to arouse from that state using self-generated heat; physiological changes at the start of a spontaneous arousal; and physiological mechanisms underlying the ability of hibernators to rewarm. Consideration is also given to intermediary metabolism in hibernation, cold adaptation of metabolism in hibernators, and the response of hibernators to various extrinsic influences such as neoplastic growth, radiation injury, and parasitism and symbionts. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in fields ranging from zoology to physiology and biophysics.

Download or read book Clinical Applications of Cryobiology written by Barry J. Fuller and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1991-08-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a state-of-the-art summary of the applications of low temperature to clinical situations, together with details of the underlying principles of biology. It provides specific information for the clinicians and research workers in a number of areas of current interest and attempts to provide a unifying theme of cryobiology of interest and value to those researching a clinical problem. Specific topics discussed include the effects of low temperatures on mammalian systems in the absence of ice and how the changes can be modulated to achieve desired results; low temperature storage of tissues and organs for transplantation in the liquid state; the effects of whole body hypothermia in man and how it relates to mammal hibernation; problems associated with ice formation and the subsequent freezing of cells and tissues; cryopreservation of blood cells, reproductive cells, and tissues, such as the skin and cornea. Other interesting issues featured include the developments in cryopreservation of large, highly-organized structures and the destructive powers of ice formation in cryosurgery of diseased tissues.
Download or read book Natural Mammalian Hibernation written by William V. Mayer and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bibliography consists of over 2,100 references directly impinging upon natural mammalian hibernation, including a few references to birds and potential hibernators. A cross-referenced subject matter index makes it possible to locate with relative ease articles dealing with specific features of hibernation. The material was assembled over a number of years by detailed examination of library holdings, review literature, abstracting journals, The Zoological Record, B.A.S.I.C., and individual journals, and with the cooperation of fellow researchers in the field of natural mammalian hibernation. The assembled references were checked for their applicability for inclusion in this bibliography, alphabetized by author, and numbered for cross reference indexing. The parameters of the initial charge for making this bibliography have eliminated references to poikilothermous animals and most references to hypothermia, and have been the guidelines used to reduce some 7,000 references to the approximately one-third which finally comprise this bibliography.

Download or read book Life in the Cold written by Gerhard Heldmaier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the 11 'h international symposium dedicated to the understanding of animal "Life in the Cold", held at Jungholz (Austria), August 13-18, 2000. In 55 chapters contributed by researchers from 16 countries the current state of knowledge is reviewed, and the most recent developments and discussions in this field are highlighted. The first symposium on hibernation and life in the cold was held in 1959, and from then on they continued to occur every 3-5 years. The regular occurrence of these meetings became almost a tradition. A tradition which is entirely based on the enthusiasm of participants, and was nourished by scientific progress in this area during the past decades. The first symposium in 1959 was organised by Charles P. Lyman and Albert R. Dawe and was almost entirely dedicated to hibernation and torpor. This has been a backbone topic of the following symposia, although other aspects of animal energetics, thermal physiology and biochemistry were included in later meetings.
Download or read book Hypoxia written by Robert C. Roach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Hypoxia Symposium convenes biannually to bring together international experts from many fields to explore the state of the art in normal and pathophysiological responses to hypoxia. Representatives from five continents and 32 countries joined together in February 2003 for four days in the dramatic mountains of Banff, Alberta. As editors of the Proceedings of the International Hypoxia Symposia, we strive to maintain a 26 six year tradition of presenting a stimulating blend of clinical and basic science papers focused on hypoxia. Topics covered in 2003 include hibernation and hypoxia, hypoxia and fetal development and new advances in high altitude pathophysiology, oxidative stress and membrane damage, hypoxic regulation of blood flow, heat shock proteins in hypoxia, and future directions in hypoxia research. In 2003 we also had the privilege ofhonoring John W. Severinghaus as a friend, colleague, mentor and inspiration to many in the field. Tom Hornbein's personal tribute to John Severinghaus is the first chapter in this volume, followed by an entertaining update of the history of the discovery of oxygen written by John Severinghaus.

Download or read book Metabolic Arrest and the Control of Biological Time written by Peter W. Hochachka and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater turtles and goldfish can survive for several days without oxygen, some diving turtles for several months; hibernating animals can exist without food for long periods; others can survive extreme conditions such as desiccation, freezing, and thawing. These creatures are, in effect, self-sustaining life-support systems, with a mysterious ability to regulate their own metabolisms. These capabilities raise important questions, which Hochachka and Guppy explore in this seminal new book. What mechanisms turn down (or off) cell metabolism and other cell functions? How does an animal such as an opossum know when to activate mechanisms for slowing or stopping tissue and organ functions? How does it know when to turn them on again? How extensive is metabolic arrest as a defense against harsh environmental conditions? Can we decipher universal principles of metabolic arrest from available data? The lessons to be learned are of potentially great interest to clinicians, because the authors provide a theoretical framework in which to organize an attack on the all-too-practical problem of protecting tissues against hypoxia. Areas that may be influenced include research on cardiac arrest, strokes, acute renal failure, liver ischemia, lung injury, respiratory defense syndrome, claudication, shock, and organ transplant. Investigation of other metabolic arrest mechanisms may be similarly useful in both clinical and agricultural fields. This is a pioneering book of great use to biomedical/clinical researchers and to biologists, biochemists, and physiologists generally.
