While, its ability to withstand heat stress (thermotolerance) has not identified yet. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effects of ICV taurine effects on thermoregulation, mitochondrial thermogenic gene expression, and amino acid metabolism in 5-day-old Julia male chick exposed to either high ambient temperature <strong>(</strong>HT<strong>)</strong> or CT conditions. Procedures were performed in the absence of food with water available after injections. The results showed that ICV injection of taurine reduced the magnitude of temperature rises in heat-exposed chicks (afforded thermotolerance). Central taurine increased gene expression of avian uncoupling protein mRNA in pectoral muscle under CT and HT. However, avian peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α, avian adenine nucleotide translocase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I mRNA were decreased in chicks that were administered taurine under CT and HT. Diencephalic tryptophan, taurine and 3-methylhistidine were increased, while glutamic acid was decreased following taurine treatment under both CT and HT. Moreover, central taurine caused to reduce plasma triacylglycerol and uric acid concentrations. In conclusion, central taurine administration reduced temperature rises and was associated with changes in gene expression of mitochondrial thermogenic factors in heat-exposed fasted chicks. The changes in the mitochondrial thermogenic genes in muscle and amino acid concentrations in the brain suggest that skeletal muscle and central nervous system metabolism may be involved in the effects of taurine on thermoregulation in chicks under both CT and HT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 104238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144916267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, rising temperatures have variable effects on the duration of the inter-nesting period (IP)—the time between two consecutive nests during a single nesting season.

We used capture-mark-recapture data over 14 years to calculate the IP of olive ridley turtles (n = 96) nesting on two different beaches in Costa Rica. Next, we calculated mean sea surface temperature (SST) during each IP within estimated inter-nesting areas (225 km<sup>2</sup>), as inferred from previous olive ridley telemetry studies, and using data from NASA's multi-scale ultra-high-resolution sensor. Mean (±SD) IP was 22.5 ± 6.0 d (range: 13–41 d) and mean SST was 28.0 ± 0.6 °C (range: 26.1–29.5 °C). We observed a statistically significant negative relationship between SST and IP suggesting that elevated temperatures at inter-nesting habitats influence the phenology of olive ridley turtles as previously observed in other hard-shelled sea turtle species.

This study investigates the metabolic shifts in the freeze-tolerant cricket <em>Gryllus veletis</em> during fall-like acclimation, focusing on mitochondrial function and its possible link with cryoprotectant accumulation. We hypothesized that fall-like acclimation promotes a shift in mitochondrial substrate utilization within the fat body tissue of crickets, transitioning from a reliance on substrates that donate electrons to complex I (e.g., carbohydrates and fatty acids) toward increased utilization of alternative substrates, such as glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), which can be derived from glycerol. We demonstrated that acclimation leads to lower glycogen content in the fat body, concomitant with increased pyruvate kinase activity, suggesting increased carbon flux through glycolysis. Moreover, we observed decreased overall mitochondrial oxygen consumption and enzymatic activity of cytochrome <em>c</em> oxidase. Interestingly, while overall mitochondrial capacity decreased, the relative contribution of G3P to mitochondrial metabolism increased, supported by increased enzymatic activity of mitochondrial G3P dehydrogenase. Thus, fall-like acclimation appears to induce a metabolic shift in crickets, redirecting metabolites away from the tricarboxylic acid cycle and towards the production of G3P, which subsequently sustains mitochondrial respiration. This study reveals a key mechanism associated with the development of freeze tolerance in crickets, which could also be important for other cold- and freeze-tolerant insect species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 104253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144903424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type of cryoprotectant used and the initial ice nucleation temperature influence ice crystal growth during rewarming events, in turn impacting cell survival. Using a cryomicroscope together with temperature profiles recorded in cord-blood units, ice crystal growth was tracked through five transient-warming events (TWEs) that peaked at −30 °C, −20 °C, or −10 °C. Initial freezing conditions were modified either by adding 6 % (w/v) hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or by lowering the ice-nucleation temperature by 10 °C. Across five TWEs, ice-crystal area saw the greatest increase when the peak rewarming temperature was −10 °C. Although adding HES further accelerated this recrystallization, it still protected Jurkat cells after a single TWE. Lowering the nucleation temperature also improved viability in samples warmed to −20 °C, regardless of HES supplementation. These findings show that ice crystal growth is not the sole cause of injury during transient rewarming; other temperature-dependent stresses also play a role. Importantly, careful optimisation of cryoprotectant composition and nucleation temperature can bolster cellular resilience to temperature excursions, potentially reducing quality losses during the storage and transport of cryopreserved therapeutics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thermal biology","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 104234"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144996594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
