The development of tolerance to ethanol was studied in two strains of rats, UChA (low ethanol consumer) and UChB (high ethanol consumer), by the sleeping time test. Marked tolerance (perhaps both metabolic and tissue) ...

The ocular surface is the part of the visual system directly exposed to the environment, and it comprises the cornea, the first refractive tissue layer and its surrounding structures. The ocular surface has evolved to keep ...

The intestinal tract is a peculiar environment due to its constant contact with the microbiota agents, food antigens and other molecules. Such exposure requires the establishment of important regulatory mechanisms in order ...

Desiccation Tolerant mosses: Phenotypic, Physiological and molecular Studies

Most plant thermal tolerance studies focus on single critical thresholds, which are arbitrary and phenomenological, limiting the generality of findings across studies. In animals and microbes, thermal tolerance landscapes ...

BackgroundLipopolysaccharide (LPS)-tolerant monocytes produce small amounts of inflammatory cytokines, which is one of the characteristics of the alternative activated macrophages (AAM). These cells exhibited an increased ...

Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
