AMPK Activity Increases in Response to Acute Cold Stress in the Zebra Mussel
Meeting Abstract 103-1 Saturday, Jan. 7 13:30 – 13:45 AMPK Activity Increases in Response to Acute Cold Stress in the Zebra Mussel JOST, JA; Bradley University jjost@fsmail.bradley.edu Ectothermic species are affected by environmental fluctuations, and studies are needed on thermal tolerances since changes in ambient temperature affect metabolic demands. Zebra mussels are highly invasive, yet little is […]
