• Physiological mechanisms mediating costs of immune responses: what can we learn from studies of birds? (2012, background): “…addition of vitamin E did not reduce oxidative damage in greenfinches, Carduelis chloris (Hõrak et al. 2007), but it enhanced growth in nestling barn swallows, Hirundo rustica (de Ayala et al. 2006) indicating that the defence against ROS was enhanced permitting a higher energy turnover rate.”
