Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia occurs naturally in a wide range of aquatic ecosystems. However, the physiological and morphological effects of prolonged hypoxia on organ systems remain poorly understood, especially in the cardiovascular system of fishes. We assessed the contractile force of isolated hearts from adult zebrafish from control conditions (Po2 = 21 kPa), from adults after a 4-wk exposure to hypoxia (Po2 = 10 kPa), or adults...
