Responses of the in vitro turtle brain to visual and auditory stimuli during severe hypoxia

This study examines how severe hypoxia affects visual and auditory responses in a reduced turtle brain preparation, finding visual responses are reduced while auditory responses remain intact.

Skeletal Muscle Histidine Containing Dipeptide Contents are Increased in Freshwater Turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) with Cold-Acclimation

This study measures histidine-containing dipeptide (HCD) content in skeletal muscle of cold-acclimated freshwater turtles, finding higher levels at lower temperatures, suggesting a role in pH regulation during overwintering.

Cold-acclimation induces life stage-specific responses in the cardiac proteome of Western painted turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii): implications for anoxia tolerance

This study shows cold-acclimation induces stage-specific cardiac proteome changes in turtles, enhancing anoxia tolerance in adults but not hatchlings.
