We found that wildtype animals grown at 25°C, and fed either OP50 or HT115, had a higher level of carminic acid staining in the intestine than that of wildtype animals raised at 20°C (Figure 7A), suggesting that an increase in temperature physiologically affects the level of carbohydrate stores.
This approach can be further exploited by using vasomodulators such as carbogen, which will preferentially affect physiologically responsive mature vasculature.
Physiologically, temperature can affect muscle fibre number (Wilkes et al., 2001) and muscle performance (Putnam and Bennett, 1982), endurance (Ojanguren and Brañta, 2000), growth (Angilletta et al., 2004), metabolic rate (Das and Das, 1982), heart rate (Richards, 1963), immune functioning (Maniero and Carey, 1997; Le Morvan et al., 1998) and size and age at maturity (Angilletta and Dunham, 2003).
Research how deficiency in a particular nutrient could affect you physiologically.
Immunity in pregnancy is physiologically compromised and may affect the CD4+ cell count, as lower CD4+ cell count has been reported in pregnant compared with non-pregnant females.
Forward genetic screens in model organisms, such as the one that isolated the crusher and bulldog mutants (Neuhauss et al., 1996), provide an unbiased approach to discover physiologically relevant mutations that affect skeletal development.
Excessive Cu toxicity, on the other hand, adversely affect the physiologically important free amino acid metabolism [ 41] because it lies at the crossroad between nitrogen assimilation, carbon fixation and secondary metabolism [ 28, 42].
Whether the spleen is affected physiologically by the radiation exposure remains to be investigated.
These regulatory and functional divergences constitute an important source of variation that affects physiologically important aspects of hemoglobin properties (Hoffmann et al. 2008; Storz et al. 2008).
These data suggest that sucralose ingestion is not physiologically inert but affects the glycemic response to an oral glucose load and potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in obese people.
