Hypoxia tolerance in fishes : cardiorespiratory performance and metabolism
Cardiac failure occurs in most vertebrates including humans following even short hypoxia exposure due to an inability to match cardiac energy demand to the limited energy supply. In contrast, hypoxia-tolerant ectothermic vertebrates show the remarkable ability to maintain cardiac energy balance and...
