Improving rehabilitation outcomes using metabolomics: Health, recovery and biomarkers of mortality in sick and injured green turtles (Chelonia mydas)

Retrospective Analysis of Blood Cultures and Their Association With Clinical Findings and Outcome in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia Mydas) at a Florida Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Facility, 2017–2020

“…Reduced glucose values have been associated as a biomarker of mortality in sick and injured green turtles, although values in this study were similar between both culture-positive and culture-negative turtles. 33 Hypoglycemia is associated with septicemia because of depletion of glucose from bacterial usage, but may be caused by variety of different conditions involved in stranding, including starvation, which may explain the lack of difference between the two groups.…”

Unravelling the Role of Metabolites for Detecting Physiological State of Wild Animals: European Rabbit’s (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Case

“…Our study shows that conservation physiology and nutritional ecology are both integrative sciences that share the fundamental aim of understanding the patterns, mechanisms, and consequences of animal responses to changing environments [ 14 ]. Although some work has already been carried out, further work is, however, necessary regarding the knowledge of the metabolic pathways, including integrated genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches [ 41 ], leading to results with practical consequences that are specifically required to upgrade animal conservation [ 42 ].…”
