Fig. 4. The relationship between the total mitochondrial volume of skeletal muscle
[V(mt,m)/Mb] and maximum aerobic capacity
O2max in a
series of mammalian species. Values for red kangaroo and human are indicated.
The values for human and other placental species are from Hoppeler
(1990); value for red kangaroo
is from Table 4. The addition
of the red kangaroo data to the quadruped data does not significantly change
the relationship between
O2max and
V(mt,m)/Mb.
