Blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is reportedly influenced by the seasons, with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels decreasing in the summer or warm season and increasing in the winter or cold season. In addition, several studies have shown that sepsis is also associated with the seasons. Although both blood glucose control and sepsis can strongly affect the occurrence of ...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different seasons on length and duration of estrus as well as to observe the behavioral changes and physiological peculiarities during estrus period. three climatic seasons and age groups were considered: summer (march-june), rainy (july-october) and winter (november-february); a (6-9 month), b (9-12 month) and c (>12 month). estrus...

The present study was conducted to establish base line physiological and hematology values in Punganur cattle in different age groups (bulls, cows, young bulls, heifers, and male and female calves) and during different seasons (monsoon, winter and summer). The mean rectal temperature (F), respiration, pulse and heart rate (per min.) were significantly higher (P<0.01) in young animals than in ad...

We studied the seasonal variation on aerobic metabolism and the response of oxidative stress parameters in the digestive glands of the subpolar limpet Nacella (P.) magellanica. Sampling was carried out from July (winter) 2002 to July 2003 in Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Whole animal respiration rates increased in early spring as the animals spawned and remained elevated througho...

Passerines that overwinter in temperate climates undergo seasonal acclimatization that is characterized by metabolic adjustments that may include increased basal metabolic rate (BMR) and cold-induced summit metabolism (M(sum)) in winter relative to summer. Metabolic changes must be supported by equivalent changes in oxygen transport. While much is known about the morphology of the avian respira...

This study was carried out to analyze the variations of Benzene, Toluene, and para- Xylene (BTp-X) present in the urban air of Delhi. These pollutants can enter into the human body through various pathways like inhalation, oral and dermal exposure posing adverse effects on human health. Keeping in view of the above facts, six different locations of Delhi were selected for the study during summe...

High latitude ionospheric convection patterns and models are obtained based on a composite analysis of incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observations in the North America sector at Millstone Hill and Sondrestrom (MHS). These observations span a combined latitude range of 55 pLp82 over time periods starting from 1978 for Millstone Hill and from 1995 for Sondrestrom. These models, regional to the Am...

EEG records of photosensitive epileptic patients with repeated EEG recordings at different seasons of the year, were examined for the occurrence of photoparoxysmal response to photic stimulation (photoparoxysmal discharges (PPD]. Recordings in summer showed a lower incidence of PPD compared with recordings in other seasons. Recordings in winter showed a higher incidence of PPD compared with rec...
