Repeated exposure to food limitation earlier in life enables rats to spare lipid stores during prolonged starvation
Meeting Abstract 134-3 Sunday, Jan. 8 10:45 – 11:00 Repeated exposure to food limitation earlier in life enables rats to spare lipid stores during prolonged starvation MCCUE, M/D*; SALAZAR, G; ALBACH, A; St. Mary’s Univ mmccue1@stmarytx.edu The risks of food limitation and ultimately starvation date back to the dawn of heterotrophy; yet, starvation remains a major factor […]
