Effects of endurance training on skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration in Siberian huskies and Alaskan huskies
Siberian huskies (SH) and Alaskan huskies (AH), sharing ancestry with ancient sled dogs, were hypothesized to achieve similar skeletal muscle (SM) mitochondrial respiration capacities and densities t...

Frontiers | Potential for flexible lactate shuttling between astrocytes and neurons to mitigate against diving-induced hypoxia
For most non-diving mammals, lack of O2 (hypoxia) has detrimental effects on brain function. Seals, however, display a series of systemic, cellular, and mole...
