Understanding Reductive Stress and Metabolic Shifts in Animals
The chapter explores the concept of reductive stress and its implications on metabolic processes, drawing parallels with animals' adaptive metabolic states during different seasons. It discusses the role of desaturases enzymes in converting fats and the metabolic changes in animals preparing for hibernation. The impact of unsaturated fats on metabolism, hibernation patterns, and enzyme regulation is also examined.
