The proximate composition, fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of three different cuts of meat from tegu Tupinambis merianae were determined. Moisture (72.0±0.7%), protein (23.6±0.7%), fat (4.0±1.3%) and ash ...

Invasive reptilian predators can have substantial impacts on native species and ecosystems. Tegu lizards are widely distributed in South America east of the Andes, and are popular in the international live animal trade. ...

The proximate composition, fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of three different cuts of meat from tegu Tupinambismerianae were determined. Moisture (72.070.7%), protein (23.670.7%), fat (4.071.3%) and ash ...

The tegu lizard Tupinambis merianae exhibits an episodic ventilatory pattern when dormant at 17 degrees C but a uniform ventilatory pattern when dormant at 25 degrees C. At 17 degrees C, ventilatory episodes were composed ...

This study was designed to determine the manner in which metabolism is suppressed during dormancy in black and white tegu lizards (Tupinambis merianae). To this end, heart rate (f (H)), respiration rate (f (R)), and deep ...

The tegu lizard Tupinambis merianae exhibits an episodic ventilatory pattern when dormant at 17 °C but a uniform ventilatory pattern when dormant at 25 °C. At 17 °C, ventilatory episodes were composed of 1-22 breaths ...

Several studies indicate that certain factors such as age, sex or nutritional status among others, mayaffect the level of DNA damage, both induced and spontaneous, so it is very important to consider themfor a more accurate ...

Environmental contaminants produce multiple adverse consequences at individual, population and ecosystem levels. High volumes of agrochemicals applied to great variety of crops, together with agricultural expansion, generate ...
