- Acute effects of intense exercise on the antioxidant system in birds: does exercise training help?
Summary: Daily exercise training of zebra finches over many weeks increases the coordination between the enzymatic and non-enzymatic components of their antioxidant system and this reduces the oxidative damage associated with exercise.
- Hormetic benefits of prior anoxia exposure in buffering anoxia stress in a soil-pupating insect
Summary: Prior anoxia exposure benefits organismal performance, increases lipid levels and reduces the oxygen debt compared with a singular exposure to anoxia in the Caribbean fruit fly.
- The oxidative debt of fasting: evidence for short- to medium-term costs of advanced fasting in adult king penguins
Summary: Fasting induces a transitory exposure to oxidative stress, and effort to recover in body mass after an advanced fasting period may be a neglected carryover cost of fasting in king penguins.
