This study identifies a unique mechanism in elephant seal cells that prevents lipid peroxidation through lipid droplet formation and iron export, rather than traditional antioxidant pathways.

This study examines how MEHP exposure affects gene expression and mitochondrial function in marine mammal and human cells, revealing species-specific responses.

This study shows dehydration increases intracellular lipid synthesis and accumulation by promoting glutamine oxidation and mitochondrial metabolic remodeling.

The paper examines HIF gene family evolution and hypoxia transcriptional responses in hypoxia-tolerant and non-tolerant reptiles, finding distinct regulatory mechanisms in sea turtles.

This study investigates how sea turtle and lizard cells respond to hypoxia, finding that sea turtle cells adapt more effectively by optimizing oxygen use and maintaining mitochondrial structure.

This study investigates how prolonged fasting and glucocorticoids affect DNA methylation in elephant seals, finding transient increases in blood methylation and decreased methylation in muscle cells with glucocorticoid exposure.

This study shows that exogenous thyroxine improves antioxidant defenses and reduces oxidative stress in insulin-resistant OLETF rats.

This study identifies genetic adaptations in Myotis bats linked to longevity and viral tolerance through genome analysis and functional experiments.
