Fig. 2. Protein-incorporated phenylalanine specific radioactivities in the intestine (y=0.810x+0.27, r²=0.252, N=18), heart (y=0.277x–0.003, r²=0.330, N=18), liver (y=1.6x–0.76, r²=0.374, N=18), brain (y=0.709x–0.304, r²=0.363, N=18), muscle (y=0.164x+0.051, r²=0.382, N=15) and lung (y=0.163x+0.366, r²=0.233, N=18) of anoxia-exposed (filled circles) and normoxia-exposed (open circles) turtles. Regression equations refer to normoxic protein-incorporated phenylalanine specific radioactivities. All r² values are significant (P<0.05), and the intercepts were not significantly different from zero in any tissue. N=6 except for the muscle 1 h of anoxia value, where N=3. Values are means ± S.E.M. (experiment 1).
