This review is focused on two topics related to glucose in vertebrates. In a first section
devoted to glucose homeostasis we describe how glucose levels fluctuate and are regulated …

An organism's critical oxygen tension (P crit) reflects its ability to extract environmental O 2.
Consequently, P crit has been used as an indicator of hypoxia tolerance in aquatic animals …

Benoît, HP, Plante, S., Kroiz, M., and Hurlbut, T. 2013. A comparative analysis of marine fish
species susceptibilities to discard mortality: effects of environmental factors, individual traits …

Next to extremes in temperature, hypoxia is arguably the most significant environmental
challenge faced by fishes. This is because of the disruptions/consequences it has for the …

Upper thermal tolerance may be limited by convective oxygen transport in fish, but the
mechanisms constraining heart function remain elusive. The activation of anaerobic …

To evaluate the possible role of glucose in the control of food intake (FI) in fish and the
involvement of glucosensing system in that role, we have subjected rainbow trout (via …

The inhalation of zinc oxide engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has been linked to
cardiorespiratory dysfunction in mammalian models but the effects of aquatic ENM exposure …

Carnivorous fish have a limited capacity to utilize dietary carbohydrates even though
glucosensing components exist in the hypothalamus and Brockmann bodies. Therefore, we …

We tested the hypothesis that the chronic residual effects of an acute exposure of European
sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) to chemically dispersed crude oil is manifest in indices of …

Insulin is an important factor for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis, enhancing
glucose uptake in its target tissues in a process that has been conserved between fish and …
