Oxidative stress and mitochondrial responses to stress exposure suggest that king penguins are naturally equipped to resist stress
Exposure to unpredictable environmental stressors could influence animal health and
fitness by inducing oxidative stress, potentially through downstream effects of glucocorticoid
stress hormones (eg. corticosterone) on mitochondrial function. Yet, it remains unclear
whether species that have evolved in stochastic and challenging environments may present
adaptations to alleviate the effects of stress exposure on oxidative stress. We tested this
hypothesis in wild king penguins by investigating mitochondrial and oxidative stress …
