Changes in Northern Elephant Seal Skeletal Muscle Following Thirty Days of Fasting and Reduced Activity
Northern elephant seals (NES, Mirounga angustirostris) undergo an annual molt during which they spend ∼40 days fasting on land with reduced activity and lose approximately one-quarter of their body mass. Reduced activity and muscle load in stereotypic terrestrial mammalian models results in decrease...
