Energy Homeostasis in Monotremes
In 1803, the French anatomist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire decided that the newly described echidna and platypus should be placed in a separate order, the monotremes, intermediate between reptiles and mammals. The first physiological observations showed monotremes had low body temperatures and metabolic rates, and the consensus was that they were at a stage of physiological development interm...
متن کاملElectroreception in monotremes
subject of special fascination ever since their first description was greeted by Western scientists with great scepticism (Home, 1802). Many thought that the platypus was a clever hoax perpetrated by careful attachment of a duck-bill and webbed feet to the skin of a mammal (Griffiths, 1998). Perhaps a greater mystery concerned the ability of a platypus to catch half its body mass of benthic inv...
متن کاملThe Effect of Maternal High-Fat Feeding on Energy Homeostasis in Stressed Adult Male Rat Offspring
Introduction: In the present study the effect of chronic maternal high-fat diet consumption on energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism in response to chronic stress was investigated in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: Female rats were divided into two groups of normal and high fat diets. Each group received their diet from 3 weeks before pregnancy until the end of lactation. At 8 weeks...
متن کاملHypothalamic mitochondria in energy homeostasis and obesity
Obesity, which is largely due to energy imbalance, has emerged as one of the most serious health issues in the world. The hypothalamus is the most important organ to regulate feeding behavior and energy expenditure through nutrient sensing and signal integration from central and peripheral pathways. As the main organelle to produce energy, mitochondria play a critical role in energy homeostasis...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine regulation of energy homeostasis
Energy homeostasis is under a strict control that allows the individual to adequately respond to environmental and internal energy demands. It depends on the coordination between feeding behaviour and energy expenditure. Different peripheral (humoral and neural) factors respond to conditions of negative energy balance inhibiting basal metabolic rate, and altering the synthesis of hypothalamic p...
