• Hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide metabolites in the blood of free-ranging brown bears and their potential roles in hibernation 

      Revsbech, Inge G; Shen, Xinggui; Chakravarti, Ritu; Jensen, Frank B.; Thiel, Bonnie; Evans, Alina L.; Kindberg, Jonas; Fröbert, Ole; Stuehr, Dennis J.; Kevil, Christopher G.; Fago, Angela (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      During winter hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) lie in dens for half a year without eating while their basal metabolism is largely suppressed. To understand the underlying mechanisms of metabolic depression in ...
    • On the interplay between hypothermia and reproduction in a high arctic ungulate 

      Schmidt, Niels M.; Grøndahl, Carsten; Evans, Alina; Desforges, Jean-Pierre; Blake, John; Hansen, Lars H.; Beumer, Larissa T.; Mosbacher, Jesper B.; Stelvig, Mikkel; Greunz, Eva M.; Chimienti, Marianna; van Beest, Floris M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For free-ranging animals living in seasonal environments, hypometabolism (lowered metabolic rate) and hypothermia (lowered body temperature) can be effective physiological strategies to conserve energy when forage resources ...
