Migration-induced variation of fatty acid transporters and cellular metabolic intensity in passerine birds.

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt

Because lipids are the main fuel supporting avian endurance activity, lipid transport and oxidation capacities may increase during migration. We measured enzyme activities, mRNA expression and protein levels in pectoralis and heart for several key steps of lipid transport and catabolism pathways to investigate whether these pathways were upregulated during migration. We used yellow-rumped (Setophaga coronata) and...
