Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and biochemistry of long-term fasting in birds
TL;DR: The metabolic response of penguins and domestic geese to fasting has been studied in detail and it is shown that large birds, in contrast to small species, do not become torpid when they are fasting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fasting in king penguin. I. Hormonal and metabolic changes during breeding
TL;DR: It is suggested that protein sparing (phase II) requires low levels of corticosterone, insulin, and thyroid hormones, whereas the further increase in protein utilization (phase III) is due to an increase in plasma cortic testosterone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing a relationship between bone microstructure and growth rate: a fluorescent labelling study in the king penguin chick (Aptenodytes patagonicus).
TL;DR: The highest bone tissue growth rate known to date is found, which supports the heuristic value of a relationship between growth rate and bone primary microstructure, but it is found that growth rates of bone tissue types vary according to the long bone considered (P<10–5).
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein and lipid utilization during long-term fasting in emperor penguins
TL;DR: A 2.5 times higher value is found for rate of body mass loss, uric acid, and urea during spring phase II, suggesting lower effectiveness in protein sparing at that time of year, attributed to the lower initial lipid reserves of spring birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between lipid availability and protein utilization during prolonged fasting.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that in severely obese humans and animals a lethal cumulative protein loss is reached long before the exhaustion of fat stores, while the phase of protein conservation is still continuing is supported.
