  9. Background - Short-term Food Restriction Studies in Microcebus murinus 80% food restriction Ad-libitum Summer Body temperature (°C) Locomotor’s activity (a.u.) Winter From Genin et al. 2003 Séguy and Perret 2005 • Torpor Ability: Summer << Winter

  10. Background - Distribution Area of M. murinus El Niño Phenomenon Madagascar Repartition Area of M. murinus Dry Deciduous Forests Spiny Desert Forests Wright 1999 Wide distribution of M. murinus in contrasted habitats  Torpor expression of mouse lemurs in summer would be underestimated?  Existence of other efficient mechanisms to survive during unpredictable events in summer?

  11. Objectives Determine the physiological strategies for energy economy in mouse lemurs facing an energy deficit • Specific Aim 1: evaluate the thermoregulatory and locomotor’s activity responses The grey mouse lemur would rely on torpor bouts in winter while would reduce its locomotor’s activities in summer

  12. Experimental Protocol Captive Male Mouse Lemurs Long-days Short-days Winter-like Summer-like Moderate (40%) and Severe (80%) Control Period 35-day food restriction Logger Implanted in the abdominal cavity of each animal • Body Mass • Body Temperature and Locomotor’s Activity (Telemetry)

  26. Background - Underlying Mechanisms of Torpor numerous aspect of fuel homeostasis in diverse animal species • Ghrelin • Orexigenic and reduces energy expenditure and fat oxidation (Tschop et al. 2000) Increases torpor depth in mice (Gluck et al. 2006) • Peptide YY (PYY):anorexigenic, reduces energy expenditure and promotes fat use (Adams et al. 2006) • Glucagon-like Peptide 1 (GLP-1):anorexigenic, reduces energy expenditure and body temperature (Sousha et al. 2007) ?

  37. Conclusions • The cost-benefit trade-off between lipid-type oxidation and oxidative stress level is season-dependant • Under a moderate food shortage, only mouse lemurs in winter realize this trade-off • Summering animals increase oxidative stress • Under severe food deprivation, mouse lemurs in winter are not able any more to carry out the cost-benefit trade-off, increasing dramatically oxidative damages

  39. Perspectives Martine Perret Verena Behringer To determine if other strategies of energy-saving, used in association to torpor, would help M. murinus to stabilize its energy balance during severe food shortage? • Role of social thermoregulation? • Maximal energy benefit of 40% in mouse lemurs in summer as in winter (Perret 1998) • Increases duration of torpor bouts (Séguy and Perret 2005)

  40. Perspectives Night • Role of social thermoregulation? • Role of passive rewarming during torpor episodes? Body T°C Ambient T°C • Wild Microcebus murinus • Reduction of energy costs from the arousal from torpor, by using natural fluctuations of the ambient temperature, before an active rewarming to normothermic level VO2 Modified from Schmid 2000 In the context of global changes?
