The hibernating squirrels breathed episodically and exhibited a robust ventilatory response to hypercapnia but not hypoxia. The breathing episode (not the individual breath) was the major regulated variable in the breathing pattern. Vagal blockade did not alter breathing on a breath-by-breath basis but did decrease the breaths per episode decreasing overall ventilation and abolished the hypercapnic ventilatory response. MK-801 increased the number of breaths per episode and the frequency of breathing during episodes but did not alter overall ventilation nor the hypercapnic ventilatory response. Combined treatment with MK-801 and vagal blockade abolished episodic breathing but also initiated arousal from hibernation. The data suggest that in golden-mantled ground squirrels hibernating at 5°C body temperature, vagal feedback and NMDA receptor mediated processes still modulate breathing.

While moderate fat levels can lower feed costs, supply essential fatty acids, and promote growth in some carnivorous and fast-growing species, excessive fat intake is linked to negative outcomes, such as impaired lipid metabolism, hepatic steatosis, immune suppression, and reduced growth. Although some studies have reported improved growth in zebrafish and other tolerant species, most finfish exhibited growth inhibition, metabolic dysfunction, and greater disease susceptibility under prolonged HFD exposure. Mechanistically, HFDs disrupt lipid homeostasis by downregulating lipolytic genes (e.g., cpt1a, pparα, and atgl) and upregulating lipogenic genes (e.g., srebp-1, fas, and acc), resulting in hepatic lipid accumulation. These shifts are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced fatty acid β-oxidation, oxidative stress, and activation of ER stress pathways such as ire1/xbp1. HFDs also stimulate inflammatory pathways through tlrs, nf-κb, and cytokines (il-6, tnf-α, and il-1β), contributing to immunometabolic imbalances. Additionally, HFDs negatively affect intestinal health by altering morphology, weakening barrier function, and disrupting microbiota composition, leading to poor nutrient absorption and increased infection risk. This review provides current evidence of HFD-induced changes in growth, immunity, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and gut health in finfish. This emphasizes the importance of species-specific dietary fat optimization to improve feed efficiency, safeguard fish health, and ensure sustainable aquaculture practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":56033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Physiology B-Biochemical Systems and Environmental Physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144676666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While mitochondrial proteomic adaptations are well-documented in deep hibernators, the proteomic changes underlying daily torpor remain less clear. We investigated mitochondrial proteomic adaptations in the liver of a daily hibernator, the Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus), across different hibernation phases. Hamsters were maintained under long-day (summer) or short-day photoperiods (winter), to induce torpor. Livers from summer, torpor, and interbout euthermia phases were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with labelled standards of mitochondrial energy metabolism proteins, resulting in accurate quantitative proteomics. Differential protein regulation was assessed using empirical Bayes models with false discovery rate correction. Increased abundance of fatty acid oxidation enzymes during hibernation indicates a seasonal metabolic shift toward lipid utilization, similar to deep hibernators. Additionally, torpor featured elevated complex II subunits and tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes representing evolutionary adaptations specific to daily torpor, likely to cater higher energy demands necessary to maintain torpid body temperature above 15 °C in near-freezing ambient temperatures. This represents evolutionary adaptations specific to daily torpor. Increased levels of the mitochondrial uncoupling-related solute carrier family 25 member 5 (SLC25A5) may be responsible for both thermogenesis and limiting production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the selective upregulation of SOD2 during torpor underscores its critical role in mitigating reactive oxygen species accumulation during metabolic transitions. In summary, daily torpor exhibits unique mitochondrial proteomic adaptations that distinguish it from deep torpor, which may be necessary to enable torpor at body temperatures well above the ambient temperature.</p>","PeriodicalId":56033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Physiology B-Biochemical Systems and Environmental Physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144638774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Turtles with visible fibropapillomatosis tumors were mildly affected, with tumor sizes not exceeding 5-cm diameter (tumor score 1). While significant alterations were observed in some hematological analytes (i.e., lower hemoglobin and hematocrit, and higher WBC, lymphocytes and heterophil: lymphocyte ratio), these values remained within the reference intervals estimated for healthy turtles.

Variation in oxidative damage and inflammation may reflect differential allocation of resources to reproduction and survival, contributing to differences in species-typical longevity and resulting from distinct, evolved life-history strategies. To investigate the link between molecular processes and physiological senescence, we compared urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress (8-isoprostane and 8-OHdG) and inflammation (neopterin) in a cross-sectional sample of two species that differ in life-history schedules: the relatively fast-paced ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta; n = 41; ages = 1-32 years) and slow-paced Coquerel's sifaka (Propithecus coquereli; n = 49; ages = 1-27 years).

Species differences in lipid damage and inflammatory biomarkers were not significant (8-isoprostane: ring-tailed lemur mean: 0.5 ± 0.3 ng/mg Cr, sifaka mean: 0.3 ± 0.2 ng/mg Cr, p = 0.11), although sifakas tended to show greater inflammation (neopterin: ring-tailed lemur mean: 0.01 ± 0.02 ng/mg Cr, sifaka mean: 0.02 ± 0.02 ng/mg Cr; p = 0.14), which may reflect health challenges faced by this species in captivity. Contrary to our predictions, neither species showed age-related change in either marker of oxidative stress. Thus, although lemurs appear not to experience an increase in the rate of oxidative damage incurred with age, we cannot exclude the possibility that accumulated damage contributes to aging. Neither lemur species exhibited age-related change in inflammation; if anything, contrary to our prediction, ring-tailed lemurs showed marginal declines in inflammation with age.

The transcription of clock genes important for pineal rhythmicity was disturbed under both LL and DD: LL attenuated or flattened the expression of core clock genes, while DD showed a weaker effect and shifted the peak of expression. In LL, altered expression of clock genes was associated with increased transcription of regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis, and markers of mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics, resulting in elevated ATP production. Oppositely, in DD conditions, ATP decreased. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed distinct clusters comprising clock and mitochondria-related genes, indicating a close association between the circadian clock and mitochondrial function.

The parameters of LWR indicated that the growth pattern of H. variegata was the negative allometric growth. Furthermore, the CF of H. variegata was consistent with the seasonal variations of the lengths. Our results displayed that H. variegata exhibited better growth during spring and winter in northern Guizhou.
