Am J Physiol Cell Physiol
. 2024 Nov;
328(1):C179-C198.
PMID: 39555638
Turtle hepatocytes are a nonexcitable model for metabolic depression during low-temperature and/or anoxic overwintering conditions. Cytoskeletal structure and mitochondrial distribution are continuously modified in cells, and we hypothesized that metabolic...

. 2018 Apr;
7(3):1-12.
PMID: 29618047
Background: Hummingbirds oxidize ingested nectar sugars directly to fuel foraging but cannot sustain this fuel use during fasting periods, such as during the night or during long-distance migratory flights. Instead,...

Physiology (Bethesda)
. 2018 Feb;
33(2):127-137.
PMID: 29412058
Foraging hummingbirds and nectar bats oxidize both glucose and fructose from nectar at exceptionally high rates. Rapid sugar flux is made possible by adaptations to digestive, cardiovascular, and metabolic physiology...

. 2017 Nov;
224:253-261.
PMID: 29127075
Hummingbirds are able to fuel hovering flight entirely with recently ingested glucose or fructose. Among vertebrates, several steps of sugar flux from circulation to skeletal muscle are potentially rate-limiting, including...
