Prehibernation and hibernation effects on the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase of the heavy and light mitochondria from liver jerboa (Jaculus orient…
2007
The D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) (EC 1.1.1.30) from liver jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a ketone body converting enzyme in mitochondria, in two populations of mitochondria (heavy and light) has been studied in different jerboa states (euthermic, prehibernating and hibernating). The results reveal: (1) important variations between states in terms of ketones bodies, glucose and lipid levels; (2) significant differences between the BDH of the two mitochondrial populations in term of protein expression and kinetic properties. These results suggest that BDH leads an important conformational change depending on the physiological state of jerboa. This BDH structural change could be the c…
New Data on Ichneumonid Hibernation(Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)in the Barnova Forest Massif (Iasi County, Romania)
2014
In this paper the authors present the results of their researches made in the period of 2006–2010 on the hibernation of some ichneumonid species in the Bârnova forest massif (Iaşi county). 30 species of ichneumonids (only females) belonging to 20 genera of the the subfamily Ichneumoninae were recorded. Five of these species are new as hibernating. During the studied period there were established 6 hibernating stations, but with a low abundance.
