Background All behaviour requires energy, and measuring energy expenditure in standard units (joules) is key to linking behaviour to ecological processes. Animal-borne accelerometers are commonly used to infer proxies of energy expenditure, termed 'dynamic ...
Objective The study was undertaken to show the magnitude of interindividual differences in energy expenditure (i.e., heat production) under normal living conditions with the aim of providing physiological evidence to support the advancement of a personaliz ...
The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...
The present invention concerns a microfluidic device for mechanically induced trapping of molecular interactions comprising at least a first unit cell and a second unit cell, each unit cell comprising - a membrane chamber comprising a membrane, - a flow ch ...
Measurement of the energy expenditure is crucial to understand the biophysics of any kind of human locomotion. Despite the promising application of inertial measurement unit (IMU) for quantification of the energy expenditure during human on-land activities ...

Inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a promising tool in the quantification of energy expenditure for human on-land activities, though has never been deployed before to calculate the aquatic activities energy expenditure. Investigating the factors that influ ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1-alpha (PGC-1alpha) has been extensively described as a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. However, PGC-1alpha activity is not constant and can be finely tuned in r ...
