Liver Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Hibernation Challenge in the Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle
Our physiological measures exhibited different thermal performances between entering and exiting brumation, providing strong evidence for the coordination. Among physiological axes to maintain energy balance during extended cold exposure as experienced during winter dormancy. The precise exogenous and endogenous cues that facilitate the coordination to maintain organismal function in winter conditions present important avenues for future work.
