Journal ArticleDOI
No evidence that carotenoid pigments boost either immune or antioxidant defenses in a songbird
Rebecca E. Koch,Andreas N. Kavazis,Dennis Hasselquist,Wendy R. Hood,Yufeng Zhang,Yufeng Zhang,Matthew B. Toomey,Geoffrey E. Hill +7 more
TL;DR: Results add further challenge to the assumption that carotenoids are directly involved in supporting physiological function in vertebrate animals, and suggest that they may play little to no direct role in key physiological processes in birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative roles of temperature and photoperiod as drivers of metabolic flexibility in dark-eyed juncos.
TL;DR: Temperature appears to be a primary driver of flexibility in Ṁsum in juncos, but photoperiod-induced changes in Mb and catabolic enzyme activities, likely associated with migratory disposition, interact with temperature to contribute to seasonal phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current versus future reproduction and longevity: a re-evaluation of predictions and mechanisms.
Yufeng Zhang,Wendy R. Hood +1 more
TL;DR: This paper critically reviews the effects and physiological mechanisms that reproduction could have on bioenergetic capacity to better understand how a reproductive event could affect future reproduction and/or survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plumage redness signals mitochondrial function in the house finch.
Geoffrey E. Hill,Wendy R. Hood,Zhiyuan Ge,Rhys Grinter,Chris Greening,James D. Johnson,Noel R. Park,Noel R. Park,Halie A. Taylor,Victoria A. Andreasen,Matthew J. Powers,Nicholas M. Justyn,Hailey A. Parry,Andreas N. Kavazis,Yufeng Zhang,Yufeng Zhang +15 more
TL;DR: Structural modelling of CYP2J19 supports a direct role of this protein in carotenoid ketolation that may be functionally linked to cellular respiration in the mitochondria, and suggests that feather coloration serves as a signal of core functionality through inexorable links to cellular oxygenation in the mitochondrial membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are mitochondria the main contributor of reactive oxygen species in cells
Yufeng Zhang,Hoi Shan Wong +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of mitochondria to the total rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) release in cell lines and primary cells of different species was discussed, and it was shown that although mitochondria are one of the significant sources of cellular ROS, they are not necessarily the main contributor under normal conditions.
