Metabolic adjustments during semi-aestivation of the marble swamp eel (Synbranchus marmoratus, Bloch 1795) - a facultative air breathing fish Ajustes metabólicos do muçum (Synbranchus marmoratus, Bloch 1795) - um peixe de respiração aérea facultativa - durante semi-estivação
Metabolic changes, principally in intermediary metabolism and nitrogen excretion, were investigated in the marble swamp eel (Synbranchus marmoratus) after 15 and 45 days of artificially induced semi-aestivation. Glucose, glycogen, lactate, pyruvate, free amino acids, triglycerides, ammonia, urea, an...
