DECREASED BASAL THERMOGENESIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOWNREGULATION OF CELLULAR METABOLIC ACTIVITY OF ORGANS AND SERUM THYROID HORMONES IN FASTING EURASIAN TREE SPARROWS (PASSER MONTANUS)

Food is a critical environmental factor that influences animal survival, especially for small passerines due to their high mass-specific metabolic rates.Basal metabolic rate (BMR) reflects the energy expended by endothermic animals Twin Set for basic physiological processes and constitutes a major part of their daily energy budget.Some birds have b

ABSTRACT Urban land in Zimbabwe is a lucrative economic and thus political asset.Increased demand for urban land across the country has been driven by multiple factors including high rates of urbanization, increased rural-urban migration, urban population growth and serious challenges in housing provision post-independence.This paper uses desk rese

It has been recently shown that DNA methyl transferase overexpression is correlated with unfavourable prognosis in human malignancies while methylation deregulation remains a hallmark that defines acute myeloid leukemia (AML).The oncogenic transcription factor EVI1 is involved in methylation deregulation and its overexpression plays a major role fo

Restoring and revitalizing popular port products is a long-term process.The time workmanship for making a shirt by an experienced craftswoman lasts about from six to nine months.Various studies of the folk costume often require the restoration of the product.The need for restoration is imposed by: the analysis and study of the cooperation of embroi

The extensive alteration of freshwater habitat across the globe has resulted in the decline of a number of wildlife species, some of which now face extinction.Large-bodied species are frequently at greatest risk.However, identifying the direct and indirect pathways of impact on these long-lived and often cryptic predators has proven challenging.Sin
