Microbial and cell/tissue cultivations play major roles and serve as important tools in biological and medical research. Knowledge about the local metabolic activity of cells and structures within ...

The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich neurobiologists have now succeeded for the first time in directly ...

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania say they have developed a novel optical method that uses a pair of macromolecular phosphorescent probes for the real-time monitoring of cerebral metabolic ...

Diagnosing mitochondrial disease (MD) is a challenge. In addition to genetic analyses, clinical practice is to perform invasive procedures such as muscle biopsy for biochemical and histochemical ...

The osmoregulatory response and oxygen consumption rate of the strictly freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium tuxtlaense were measured under different salinity conditions. The goal of these experiments was ...

DURING experiments on the oxygen consumption of Blatella germanica, it was observed that one specimen which was used on the day of its last moult, when it was still pale in colour, had a respiratory ...
