Cold physiology: postprandial blood flow dynamics and metabolism in the Antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Previous studies on metabolic responses to feeding (i.e. the specific dynamic action, SDA) in Antarctic fishes living at temperatures below zero have reported long-lasting increases and small peak responses. We therefore hypothesized that the postprandial hyperemia also would be limited in the Antar...
