Fig. 7. Expression of Hsp90 following recovery from a forced dive. (A)
Representative western blots of Hsp90 expression in turtle brain (B), heart
(H), liver (L) and muscle (M) in normoxia (control), after 30 h dive and
following 1 h of recovery. (B) Quantitative analysis of Hsp90 expression in
tissues from control turtles, turtles force-dived for 12, 24 and 30 h and
turtles recovered for 1 h following a 12, 24 and 30 h dive. Values are means
± S.E.M. of 5 (control) and 4 (dive;
recovery) replicates. *Statistical significance (P<0.05) from
control animals;
statistical significance between dived
animals and the respective recovery animals (P<0.05). Note that
error bars are obscured in some instances.
