Captivity affects mitochondrial aerobic respiration and carotenoid metabolism in the house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus)

R. E. Koch, C. Okegbe, C. Ramanathan, X. Zhu, E. Hare, M. B. Toomey, G. E. Hill, Y. Zhang

This study shows that captivity in cages reduces red carotenoid circulation and increases mitochondrial respiratory rates in house finches, supporting a link between carotenoid metabolism and mitochondrial function.
