Abstract excerpt
AIM: The developmental changes in the myosin heavy chain (MHC) profile, creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and isozyme expression occurring in heart were examined in rats born and living at altitude (La Paz, Bolivia, 3700 m, H(LP)) for 16 generations. We hypothesized that H(LP) rats respond differently to hypoxia than rats born and living at sea level, and secondarily exposed to...
