Cyclic nucleotide metabolism in compensatory renal hypertrophy and neonatal kidney growth.

abstract：:Yellow, orange, and red coloration is a fundamental aspect of avian diversity and serves as an important signal in mate choice and aggressive interactions. This coloration is often produced through the deposition of diet-derived carotenoid pigments, yet the mechanisms of carotenoid uptake and transport are not well-un...
