Aerobic capacities in the heart, kidneys, and splanchnic organs of harbor seals : adaptations to diving hypoxia /
Pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) have an elevated mitochondrial volume density [Vv(mt)] and citrate synthase (CS) and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HOAD) activity in their swimming muscles, to maintain aerobic metabolism, as an adaptation for diving hypoxia. However, little is known about the aer...
