TL;DR: It is shown that incubation temperature influences motility and limb bone growth in West African Dwarf crocodiles, producing altered limb proportions which may, influence post-hatching performance and provide new insights into how environmental factors can be integrated to influence cellular activity in growing bones and ultimately gross limb morphology, to generate phenotypic variation during prenatal development.

TL;DR: VEGF but not FGF-2 gene expression is upregulated in human skeletal muscle by a single bout of dynamic exercise and there is a graded response in VEGF mRNA expression related to the metabolic stress.

TL;DR: A novel finding was that, in human skeletal muscle, PGC-1alpha mRNA increased more after exercise with restricted blood flow than in the nonrestricted condition, which suggests that calcineurin may be activated by exercise in humans and does not exclude that calcinesurin could play a role in P GC-1 transcription activation inhuman skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that physical activity induces the HIF‐1‐mediated signaling pathway in human skeletal muscle, providing the first evidence that human Hif‐1α can be activated during physiologically relevant conditions.

TL;DR: This analysis provides a comprehensive map of the transcriptomic features important for aerobic exercise-induced improvements in maximal oxygen consumption and found that both the TRT and a homologous subset of the human high responder genes were regulated to a greater degree in high respondser rodent skeletal muscle.
