They have evolved to cope with these unfavorable conditions by anhydrobiosis, an ametabolic state of low cellular water. |
As anhydrobiosis is an ametabolic stage, the induction of SDH suggests a general reduction in metabolic activities, and nematodes might be using SDH as a stress survival mechanism. |
Like most ametabolic and hemimetabolic Hexapoda, such nymphs continue to move and feed throughout their lives. |
Along with its role as ametabolic derangement marker, plasma FABP4 concentrations should be taken into consideration as an early marker of kidney damage in type 2 diabetes. |
