Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology 

TL;DR: Brush border membrane vesicles prepared from midguts of Pieris brassicae larvae by Mg/EGTA precipitation and differential centrifugation transiently accumulated alanine, phenylalanine, histidine, lysine, or gultamic acid.

TL;DR: Injections of testosterone into the yolk of unincubated eggs enhanced the growth after hatching compared to nestlings that had hatched simultaneously from control eggs, but more testosterone did not compensate for reduced growth that was caused by later hatching due to asynchronous incubation of clutches.

TL;DR: Seasonal variations in the ability to supercool depend mainly on the concentration of Cryoprotective substances in non-feeding stages, and on a combination of cryoprotectants and feeding status in feeding stages, which is an adaptation to the environment.

TL;DR: Tests on the critical velocity have been successfully employed as an alternative to ld 50 tests, although, once again, it is difficult to standardize the tests, and environmental factors may themselves influence the swimming performance since the metabolism can, in some cases depend upon the level of swimming performance itself.

TL;DR: Interordinal comparisons of least squares regressions of log-transformed BMR and mass suggest that the Insectivora have a significantly steeper slope to their allometric relationship than do most other orders, while the non-insectivore orders are statistically homogeneous with respect to slope.
