Fig. 3. Liver AMPK activity (A), protein AMPK (B) and representative AMPK
western blot (C) in goldfish exposed to normoxia (N;
9.5 mg
O2l–1; open squares) and 12 h hypoxia (
0.3 mg
O2l–1; closed squares). Horizontal broken lines
through normoxia are shown as a reference. AMPK activity during hypoxia
exposure is expressed relative to the activity observed in normoxia, which was
set to 1. AMPK protein is normalized to total homogenate protein and expressed
relative to the values observed in normoxia. C Bands shown on representative
western blot are at
62 kDa. Data are means ± s.e.m. (N=5
to 11). *Significant difference from normoxia,
P<0.05.
