The osmoregulatory response and oxygen consumption rate of the strictly freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium tuxtlaense were measured under different salinity conditions. The goal of these experiments was ...

Mammals defend against large changes in extracellular fluid osmolality by making appropriate changes in salt and water ingestion, and by inducing complementary changes in Na + and water excretion by ...

Fish physiology encompasses a diverse array of adaptive mechanisms that enable species to maintain internal homeostasis while living in dynamic aquatic environments. A central facet of this physiology ...

ABSTRACT: The grapsid crab Chasmagnathus granulata populates brackish-water lagoons and other estuarine environments. In its reproduction, this species follows a strategy of larval export, i.e. its ...

(Nanowerk News) A new type of electronic sensor that might be used to quickly detect and classify bacteria for medical diagnostics and food safety has passed a key hurdle by distinguishing between ...

The ability to maintain physiologic and metabolic functions in response to changes in the salinity of the surrounding environment is critical for microorganisms. How do they do it? Osmotic shock, ...

Cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a conserved nucleotide second messenger critical for bacterial growth and resistance to cell wall-active antibiotics. In Listeria monocytogenes, the sole ...

Osmoregulation, die Fähigkeit aller Lebewesen mit einem Stoffwechsel, die Konzentrationen osmotisch wirksamer Stoffe kontrollieren zu können, entweder, um osmotischen Stress zu vermeiden (z.B. durch ...

Remove waste from the body Osmoregulation close osmoregulationA form of homeostasis which controls the volume of water in the body. The reabsorption of water back into the blood (at the medulla) is ...

Osmoregulation is the control of water levels and mineral ions (salt) in the blood. Water levels and mineral ions in the blood are controlled to keep the concentrations the same inside the cells as ...

Osmose, die Diffusion von Wassermolekülen durch eine semipermeable Membran (Biomembran) aufgrund des Konzentrationsunterschiedes der gelösten Substanzen beiderseits der Membran. Die O. ist für viele ...
