Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab (Vishwajit Surchowdhury)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the body's response to stress from a nutritional perspective.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the relationship between stress and metabolism
The Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab studies how stress affects the body's mechanisms and metabolism, focusing on nutrients and bioactive substances.
Using chicks, the lab examines how body temperature and feed intake change under heat stress.
The lab also focuses on how amino acids and neuropeptides are involved in adaptation to stress.
Courses taught in the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation include the Research Project course (Human and Life domain) "Nutritional Physiology."
Key terms
- Heat stress
- The strain placed on an animal's body by high temperatures. The lab studies heat stress in chickens, which is a threat to the poultry industry.
- Neuropeptide
- A peptide (a small molecule made of linked amino acids) that functions in the nervous system. The lab focuses on neuropeptide Y.
- L-citrulline
- An amino acid. The lab identified it as an amino acid that plays a role in thermoregulation.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates what happens inside the body when animals are under stress, focusing on nutrients and bioactive substances. At Kyushu University, it studies heat stress in chickens and explores the roles of amino acids involved in thermoregulation and of neuropeptides involved in feeding and thermoregulation.
