Abstract excerpt
Oxygen availability is one of the necessary prerequisites for normal embryonic development. In our previous study we found that quail embryos incubated under hypoxic conditions (16% O(2)) die at embryonic day (ED) 9 with signs of heart failure. By ED4 and ED6 we found thinner ventricular wall and increased capillary density. We thus hypothesized that the cause of death would lie in severe myocardial and coronary...
