Fig. 1. Blood lactate and glucose levels in control, dived and recovery turtles.
Blood lactate (circles) and glucose (squares) concentrations in control
turtles and turtles force-dived for 2, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 h at 17°C.
Values are means ± S.E.M. of 5
(control) and 4 (dive) replicates. *Statistical significance
(P<0.05) from control animals. Note that symbols obscure error
bars in some instances. Statistical significance between 24
h and 30 h dived animals (P<0.05).

Fig. 2. Expression of Hsp73 following a forced dive. Expression of Hsp73 in tissues
from turtles force-dived for 2, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 h. Values are means
± S.E.M. of 5 (control) and 4 (dive)
replicates. *Statistical significance (P<0.05) from control
animals. Note that symbols obscure error bars in some instances.

Fig. 3. Expression of Hsp73 following recovery from a forced dive. (A)
Representative western blots of Hsp73 expression in turtle brain (B), heart
(H), liver (L) and muscle (M) in normoxia (control), after a 30 h forced dive
and following 1 h of recovery. (B) Quantitative analysis of Hsp73 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
the error bars are obscured in some instances.

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).

from turtles force-dived for 2, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 h. Values are means
± S.E.M. of 5 (control) and 4 (dive)
replicates. *Statistical significance (P<0.05) from control
animals. Note that symbols obscure error bars in some instances.
