Metabolic consequences of hard work.
When an animal has to meet increased demands on its working capacity, for example, for thermoregulation or parental care, two strategies are available. The animal can reallocate energy from costly maintenance processes - such as immunological defence or DNA repair systems (compensation hypothesis) - or it may try to increase the rate of energy intake or efficiency of digestion by increasing the...
متن کاملSome Metabolic Consequences of Adaptation to Muscular Work.
In individuals adapted to systematic and intense muscular exercise there is often a rapid increase in body-weight if output of energy is suddenly decreased by cessation of muscular work. This phenomenon is observed, for instance, in sportsmen who stop physical training. It may, however, also occur in the normal population when energy output is decreased for any reason, e.g. convalescence or cha...
متن کاملUnconstrained Evolution and Hard Consequences Csrp 397 Unconstrained Evolution and Hard Consequences
Artiicial evolution as a design methodology for hardware frees many of the simplifying constraints normally imposed to make design by humans tractable. However, this freedom comes at some cost, and a whole fresh set of issues must be considered. Standard genetic algorithms are not generally appropriate for hardware evolution when the number of components need not be predetermined. The use of si...
متن کاملHyperprolactinaemia: metabolic consequences
Prolactin (PRL) is an anterior pituitary hormone first identified in 1933. PRL is secreted in a pulsatile fashion and is under chronic inhibition by dopamine. Hyperprolactinaemia is the most common disorder of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Chronic excess of prolactin disrupts the normal pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-sti...
متن کاملMetabolic consequences of intestinal parasitism.
Clinical and subclinical intestinal parasitism is characterized by impaired production (Sykes & Coop, 1976; Steele, 1978) with poor growth rates in young animals and loss of body weight in older animals. Sheep also incur severe reductions in wool growth. A number of comprehensive reviews prepared over the last decade characterize and contrast the magnitude of such impairment across a range of i...
