Spatio-temporal characterization of retinal opsin gene expression during thyroid hormone-induced and natural development of rainbow trout
Download2006
Allison, W. T., Helbing, C. C., Anholt, B. R., Hawryshyn, C. W., Veldhoen, N., Veldhoen, K.
Abstract: The abundance and spatial distribution of retinal cone photoreceptors change during thyroid hormone (TH)-induced and natural development of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). These changes are thought to allow the fish to adapt to different photic environments throughout its life...

Structural and Biochemical Changes in Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Seeds during Germination and Early Seedling Growth. II. Storage Triacylglycerols and Carbohydrates
Download1999
Abstract: Triacylglycerols (TAGs) comprised 59% of the total storage reserve in mature loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seeds; 80% of these TAGs were stored in the megagametophyte. The TAG breakdown in the seedling was initiated before radicle emergence (during germination), while in the...

Temporal relationships among physical activity levels and stationary time in preschool-aged children and adolescents: An investigation of the ActivityStat hypothesis
DownloadFall 2023
The ActivityStat hypothesis suggests that movement can be internally regulated by a biological control center. Specifically, humans maintain their total physical activity (PA) at a constant level by triggering behavioural and/or energy compensatory responses. However, there is considerable debate...
