lactation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Exposure to artificial wind increases energy intake and reproductive performance of female Swiss mice (Mus musculus) in hot temperatures
    Guang-Min Deng, Jing-Xin Yu, Jia-Qi Xu, Yu-Fan Bao, Qian Chen, Jing Cao, Zhi-Jun Zhao
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb231415 doi: 10.1242/jeb.231415 Published 3 September 2020

    Summary: These findings suggest that exposure to wind considerably improves reproductive performance, increasing the fitness of small mammals in hot temperatures during heatwaves.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Exposure to hot temperatures during lactation in Swiss mice stunts offspring growth and decreases future reproductive performance of female offspring
    Meng-Huan Bao, Li-Bing Chen, Catherine Hambly, John R. Speakman, Zhi-Jun Zhao
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223560 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223560 Published 7 May 2020

    Summary: Transient exposure to high temperature during lactation stunts growth and decreases future reproductive performance in adult mice; female offspring previously experiencing high temperatures have a significant fitness disadvantage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Limits to sustained energy intake. XXVII. Trade-offs between first and second litters in lactating mice support the ecological context hypothesis
    Lobke M. Vaanholt, Osei A. Duah, Suzanna Balduci, Sharon E. Mitchell, Catherine Hambly, John R. Speakman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb170902 doi: 10.1242/jeb.170902 Published 13 March 2018

    Highlighted Article: Data from this paper indicate that there may be a ‘soft’ limit dependent on female ‘choice’ on energy allocation to their litters, rather than a ‘hard’, unbreachable limit defined by aspects of maternal physiology as is commonly assumed.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sustained energy intake in lactating Swiss mice: a dual modulation process
    Jing Wen, Song Tan, Qing-Gang Qiao, Wei-Jia Fan, Yi-Xin Huang, Jing Cao, Jin-Song Liu, Zuo-Xin Wang, Zhi-Jun Zhao
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2277-2286; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157107

    Summary: Sustained energy intake in lactating Swiss mice is modulated by both litter size and temperature.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    The high cost of reproduction in sea otters necessitates unique physiological adaptations
    Nicole M. Thometz, Traci L. Kendall, Beau P. Richter, Terrie M. Williams
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2260-2264; doi: 10.1242/jeb.138891

    Highlighted Article: Female sea otters must manage high pup rearing costs on top of exceptional baseline energy demands; to accomplish this task, they exhibit distinct metabolic changes during key reproductive stages.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Plasticity in gastrointestinal morphology and enzyme activity in lactating striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis)
    Ji-Ying Zhang, Xiao-Ya Zhao, Jing Wen, Song Tan, Zhi-Jun Zhao
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1327-1336; doi: 10.1242/jeb.138396

    Summary: Lactating striped hamsters show significant plasticity in digestive tract morphology and enzyme activity, which increases reproductive performance.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Limits to sustained energy intake. XXII. Reproductive performance of two selected mouse lines with different thermal conductance
    Aqeel H. Al Jothery, Elżbieta Król, James Hawkins, Aurore Chetoui, Alexander Saint-Lambert, Yuko Gamo, Suzanne C. Shaw, Teresa Valencak, Lutz Bünger, William G. Hill, Lobke M. Vaanholt, Catherine Hambly, John R. Speakman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3718-3732; doi: 10.1242/jeb.103705
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    High basal metabolic rate does not elevate oxidative stress during reproduction in laboratory mice
    Paweł Brzęk, Aneta Książek, Łukasz Ołdakowski, Marek Konarzewski
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 1504-1509; doi: 10.1242/jeb.100073
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Ectoparasite performance when feeding on reproducing mammalian females: an unexpected decrease when on pregnant hosts
    Elizabeth M. Dlugosz, Cynthia J. Downs, Irina S. Khokhlova, A. Allan Degen, Boris R. Krasnov
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 1058-1064; doi: 10.1242/jeb.098376
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Effects of reproduction on immuno-suppression and oxidative damage, and hence support or otherwise for their roles as mechanisms underpinning life history trade-offs, are tissue and assay dependent
    Deng-Bao Yang, Yan-Chao Xu, De-Hua Wang, John R. Speakman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 4242-4250; doi: 10.1242/jeb.092049
