In biology, the definition of physiological adaptation goes like “changes in the basic metabolome of an organism to maintain homeostasis under the worst of environmental circumstances and trends”. Here, it becomes important for us to understand two basic terms: metabolome and homeostasis. Metabolome...

A suite of morphological andphysiological adaptationsis necessary in order to transition from a free-living to an ectoparasitic, hematophagous way of life. Among these are themouthpartadaptations required to pierce skin and inject saliva;digestive enzymesto process the large amounts of protein; an...

During the storage of seeds, genes are the key to the seed’s regulation and adaptation to the storage environment. Destructive gene damage will give incorrect instructions to the subsequent response of the seed to the environment and produce a series of continuous errors in the process of ...

Independent of category, stress-related sensory information is conveyed ultimately to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), a crucial structure in stress adaptation (Fig. 2.1). The PVH houses parvocellular neurosecretory neurons characterized by the expression of corticotropin-releasing fac...
Based on our understanding of the molecular biology underlying muscle adaptation to exercise training [31], and the potential for nutrition to modulate training adaptation [70], interventions in theory could augment the adaptive response to interval training by: (1) improving energy metabolism during ...
different physiologic states and pathological processes accompanied by stimulation of the sympathetic adrenal system or tissue hypoxia or under stress. However, until now, there is still no clarity on the issue of the significance of oxidative stress in the development of adaptation processes in the ...
despite the presence of abundant leukocytes and normal immune competence in the implantation site. Cytokines and chemokines have central roles in the immunological adaptation and tissue remodelling processes essential for initiation and progression of pregnancy. They provide the intercellular communication signa...
