Example Sentences:

Hibernal


Definition:

  • (a.) Belonging or relating to winter; wintry; winterish.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Based on the fact that all hibernators, at their regulated minimal body temperature, display a uniform turnover rate, related to body weight, the hypothesis is developed that cold tolerance of mammals is generally limited by a common specific minimal metabolic rate, which larger organisms, because of their lower basal metabolism, already attain in less profound hypothermia.
  • (2) Throughout the hibernation season (October to April), white adipose tissue-saturated FA percentage decreased, monoene percentage remained constant, and diene percentage increased.
  • (3) The role of cyclic changes of protein synthesis rate in adaptation of cells of hibernating mammals to functioning at various temperatures is discussed.
  • (4) In this animal, central vasopressin infusion during the winter prevents hibernation.
  • (5) To clarify the cause of uncoupling of Ca influx through Ca channels and the contractility of the myocardium in hibernating chipmunks, the electromechanical effects of two different internal Ca store inhibitors, caffeine and ryanodine, and a cardiotonic agent, isoprenaline, were investigated in papillary muscles of hibernating animals.
  • (6) The mechanism(s) regulating the duration of the period of hibernation was considered to be concerned with some aspect of metabolism and probably the same for all three species.
  • (7) The possible mechanisms in regulation of the respiration rate of mitochondria from liver of hibernating ground squirrels have been investigated.
  • (8) Does ursodeoxycholic acid (UDC) production protect hibernating species of Ursidae against gallstone disease?
  • (9) Such responses to equithesin were not observed in the non-hibernating rodent species.
  • (10) In neurons from other structures (lateral septum, medial preoptic area, hippocampus) in the brain slices of both hibernating and waking ground squirrels, thyrotropin-releasing hormone did not usually affect the level of spontaneous discharges.
  • (11) Fetal mesencephalic tissue was grafted into the lateral ventricle following pregraft refrigeration in calcium-free magnesium-free buffer at 4 degrees C. Fetal mesencephalic tissue was hibernated for 5, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 hours (group A, B, C, D, E, F and G, respectively).
  • (12) We find that during hibernation the marrow cavity of the long bones is filled with lipid deposits interspersed with vascular sinusoids containing mononuclear cells and red blood cells.
  • (13) Ten milligrams of lyophilized plasma albumin fractions from hibernating ground squirrels, woodchucks, black bears, and polar bears produced similar inhibition, with partial reversal by naloxone.
  • (14) We studied nutrient absorption across the brush-border membrane in jejunal tissues from active 13-lined ground squirrels and in hibernating squirrels that had not eaten for at least 6 wk.
  • (15) Plasma ANF of both groups of nonhibernating marmots was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) than that the hibernating group, but there was no difference between nonhibernating males and females.
  • (16) The CG and associated DB were therefore found to exert antagonistic effects which are responsible for the control of spermatogonial DNA synthesis in hibernating Helix aspersa.
  • (17) U69593, however, antagonized hibernation induced by HIT in summer active ground squirrels.
  • (18) Grafted fetal mesencephalic tissue which had been hibernated for 16 hours or less survived well.
  • (19) Over 60% of the blood CO2 stores accumulated at the beginning of the hibernation bout were released by hyperventilation during the first period, prior to the full development of thermogenesis.
  • (20) The heart of ground squirrels is covered by a large amount of brown adipose tissue during the whole period of hibernation.
