Further analysis of open-respirometry systems: an a-compartmental mechanistic approachJ G Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, Brasil
Braz J Med Biol Res 33:967-82. 2000..Also, we demonstrate why the apparent order of the output changes with volume or flow...
A priori estimation of accuracy and of the number of wells to be employed in limiting dilution assaysJ G Chaui-Berlinck
Departmento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, Brasil
Braz J Med Biol Res 33:937-47. 2000..The step-by-step procedure of the relative error estimation is given. We also discuss the constraints under which an LDA must be performed...
A critical understanding of the fractal model of metabolic scalingJosé Guilherme Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Rua do Matao tr 14, 321, CEP 05508 900, Sao Paulo SP, Brazil
J Exp Biol 209:3045-54. 2006..It is proposed that empiricists and theoreticians should rather evaluate the frameworks for addressing metabolic scaling phenomena...
Control of metabolic rate is a hidden variable in the allometric scaling of homeothermsJosé Guilherme Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Rua do Matao tr 14, 321, CEP 05508 900, Sao Paulo SP, Brazil
J Exp Biol 208:1709-16. 2005..We conclude that the unrestricted use of allometric equations to relate metabolic rate to body size might be misleading because metabolic control itself experiences size effects that are overlooked in ordinary allometric analysis...
Temperature effects on a whole metabolic reaction cannot be inferred from its componentsJosé Guilherme Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Rua do Matao tr 14, 321, CEP 05508 900, Sao Paulo SP, Brazil
Proc Biol Sci 271:1415-9. 2004..It is shown that temperature effects on isolated steps cannot rigorously be extrapolated to higher levels of organization...

Departamento de Fisiologia do Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, 05508 900, SP, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Respir Physiol 128:229-33. 2001....
Temperature effects on energy metabolism: a dynamic system analysisJosé Guilherme Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia do Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, 05508 900 São Paulo SP, Brazil
Proc Biol Sci 269:15-9. 2002..We offer mathematical tools to analyse the regulatory control of a metabolism for those who are willing to accept such an assumption...
Conditions for pathogen elimination by immune systemsJosé Guilherme Chaui-Berlinck
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, da Universidade de Sao Paulo, Rua do Matao tr 14, 321, 05508 900, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil
Theory Biosci 123:195-208. 2004..Thus, evolutionarily, the primary function of a helper lymphocyte would be to amplify a response and the primary function of memory would be the very elimination of pathogens...
A theoretical model for estimating the margination constant of leukocytesKátia Iadocicco
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociencias, Universidade de São Paulo 05508 900 São Paulo, SP, Brazil
BMC Physiol 2:3. 2002..The few attempts to furnish an estimation of M and R neither rely on clearly stated models that precisely say which rate constant is under estimation nor recognize which factors may influence the estimation...
Comparative biochemistry and physiology in Brazil: a critical appraisalCarlos Arturo Navas
Departamento de Fisiologia, Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, 05508 900, Sao Paulo SP, Brazil
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 147:586-93. 2007..We discuss the possible causes of these biases, and propose some directions that may contribute to invigorate the field in the country...
