We investigated the restoration in peripheral nerve function and simple neurobehavioral reflexes in the freeze-tolerant wood frog (Rana sylvatica). Thirty-two specimens, allowed to freeze for 39 h and ultimately cooled to -2.2 degrees C, were sampled at various time intervals up to 60 h after thawin
## Abstract It has long been suspected that urea accumulation plays a key role in the induction or maintenance of metabolic suppression during extended dormancy in animals from diverse taxa. However, little evidence supporting that hypothesis in living systems exists. We measured aerobic metabolism
## Abstract The wood frog (__Rana sylvatica__) exhibits a wellβdeveloped natural anoxia and dehydration tolerance. The degree of stress tolerance depends on numerous biochemical adaptations, including stressβinduced hypometabolism that helps to preserve longβterm viability by reducing ATP demand. W
