Fig. 6. Straight lines fit to the displayed values for total lactate in bodies of
supercooled hatchlings of the painted turtle describe rates of accumulation of
this metabolic end-product at 0°C (
), -4°C (
) or -8°C
(
). Animals that were held for 25 days at -8°C (
) were
probably dead at the point in time when they were sampled, so data for these
turtles were not used in computing the regression line for that temperature.
The regression lines, which were forced through the origin, have the following
equations: lactate at 0°C=0.035 mgxday; lactate at -4°C=0.306
mgxday; lactate at -8°C=1.462 mgxday. Figure reproduced from
Hartley et al. (2000).
