Fig. 5. Percent change in plasma lactate per hour versus oxygen
consumption rate
(
O2) for all
turtles during the second hour of recovery (first hour of swimming or not
swimming; closed symbols) and the third and fourth hours of recovery (second
hour of swimming or not swimming + one hour of not swimming; open symbols)
following 2 h of anoxia at 25°C. There was a significant correlation
between these two rates (P<0.001, r=0.52).
