Aquaporin-5 (AQP5), belonging to the aquaporins (AQPs) family of transmembrane water
channels, facilitates osmotically driven water flux across biological membranes and the …

Recent research has suggested a potential for some of the physiological and cellular
responses to heat acclimation to carry over to improved tolerance of the novel stresses of …

Theobromine, which is a caffeine derivative, is the primary methylxanthine produced by
Theobroma cacao. Theobromine works as a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor to increase …

Various direct and indirect environmental constraints have an impact on livestock
performance. The physiological parameters, such as rectal temperature, heart rate, and …

Salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. Chronic exposure
to moderate heat induces heat acclimation, which modifies salivary functions. However, the …

An indoor thermal environment stimulates the human endocrine system, thermoregulation
system, and nervous system, which significantly affects immunity. However, the effect of …

Some ant species live in hot and arid environments, such as deserts and savannas. Worker
polymorphism—variation in worker size and/or morphology within colonies—is adaptive in …

Aquaporins (AQP) are water channel proteins and the genes coding for AQP2, AQP5, and
AQP6 are clustered in 12q13. Since AQP5 is expressed in serous acinar cells of salivary …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are proteins that span plasma membranes allowing the movement of
water and small solutes into or out of cells. The type, expression levels and activity of AQPs …

Longer-term deterioration in saliva secretion has been observed to occur in response to
aging. The functional deterioration of the salivary gland damages swallowing and chewing …
