Chronic hypoxia
- Hypoxia-induced changes in hemoglobins of Lake Victoria cichlids
Summary: Four cichlids of the Lake Victoria species flock raised under hypoxia exhibit a remarkable change in isohemoglobin pattern, corresponding with improved hemoglobin O2-binding affinity.
- Embryonic hypoxia programmes postprandial cardiovascular function in adult common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina)
Summary: During embryonic development in underground nests, reptiles routinely experience hypoxia, which programmes cardiovascular physiology into adulthood, dictating convective transport during periods of elevated oxygen demand.
- Divergent physiological responses in laboratory rats and mice raised at high altitude
Summary: Rats and mice that have been raised for a similar period of time under conditions of chronic hypoxia at high altitude display divergent physiological responses.
