Fig. 11. White muscle PCr (A) pHi (B), ATP (C) and lactate (D) levels
from carp exposed to normoxia (N) and for up to
8 h exposure to hypoxia.
Phosphocreatine levels are normalized to the sum of PCr and Pi.
PCr, ATP and lactate levels are expressed relative to normoxic controls. The
black horizontal bar above the x-axis indicates the period of hypoxia
exposure (PO2=20 Torr). Each point represents
mean ± 1 s.d. Significant differences (P<0.05) between the
resting/normoxic fish and hypoxia-exposed fish are indicated by an asterisk.
From left to right, N=4, 10, 6, 3 and 4.
