Fig. 1. The hysteresis freezing points of the gastrointestinal fluids and serum
from Arctogadus glacialis that had ingested Boreogadus saida
(Bs) and crustaceans (Cr). The dark gray boxes represent the melting point
depression due to measured ions, light gray boxes represent the difference
between the measured melting point and the melting point depression due to
measured ions. The open boxes represent the thermal hysteresis due to AFGP.
Data are given as mean ± S.E.M. Statistical significance was
tested at the P
0.05 significance level by using a two-tailed
Student's t-test. The food type only had significant influence on the
antifreeze activity of the mid-gut fluids.
