Is the rate of metabolic ageing and survival determined by Basal metabolic rate in the zebra finch?
The relationship between energy metabolism and ageing is of great interest because aerobic metabolism is the primary source of reactive oxygen species which is believed to be of major importance in the ageing process. We conducted a longitudinal study on captive zebra finches where we tested the eff...
