Inflammation is well known as a protective defense mechanism for homeostasis (Chovatiya & Medzhitov, 2014; Kotas & Medzhitov, 2015). Therefore the sensors for homeostasis are mainly related to inflammation. Studies also revealed that inflammation can be triggered by an extreme disruption in the ...
The homeostatic mechanism may be in the form of a loop, which can either be positive or negative. As a feedback control system, the homeostatic process can therefore be conceptualized as a closed-loop structure, meaning the output of the system is fed back into the system as input, thereby...
The above mentioned internal information, termed interoception, can be described as the perception and regulation of the body’s internal physiological and metabolic states, such as energy homeostasis, blood pressure, gut motility and bone density through communication and integration between the CNS and...
It must be concluded that homozygosity is not an important factor determining the observed increase of asymmetry. 5. DISCUSSION The results presented show clearly that directional selection can cause deterioration of the systems responsible for developmental homeostasis as here measured, and to this ...
A large number of the G protein- and salt-responsive genes were highly overlapped with ABA-controlled genes (Vishwakarma et al., 2017), suggesting that the genes can be categorized as ABA dependent and ABA independent in A. thaliana and M. polymorpha (Figure 5). A. thaliana showed a ...
While homeostasis is a word used to described some level of balance or stability, entropy may denote a movement or shift toward disorder. Both terms are common in studies in chemistry, physical science and mechanics, as well as biology.
Homeostasis, also known as adaptation, refers to the ability of a system to counteract persistent external disturbances and tightly control the output of a

As described below, during lactation osteocytes can quickly and reversibly remodel the perilacunar space. Hyperparathyroidism [64] and lack of mechanical stimuli, such as during immobilization or space flights [65], are additional conditions in which the resorptive capability of osteocytes is evident....
Glucose homeostasisis tightly regulated in healthy adults. When glucose homeostasis is disrupted (dysglycemia), as is often the case for those who are obese, it can be associated with abnormal fasting glucose,impaired glucose toleranceand diabetes. In this context,dysglycemiacan trigger a cascade of...
