Effect of Acute and Chronic Exposure to High Altitude on the Aerobic and Anaerobic Metabolism in Rats

Figure 1

Relative expression of ICDH mRNA (a), ICDH protein (b), and liver ATP concentration (c) in rats exposed to HA. The expression of mRNA was measured by qPCR and the protein expression by western blot. The liver ATP concentration was measured by spectrophotometry. H1: rats were exposed to HA for 1 day; H3: rats were exposed to HA for 3 days; H7: rats were exposed to HA for 7 days; H15: rats were exposed to HA for 15 days; H30: rats were exposed to HA for 30 days. Control group: rats were not exposed to HA (). For ICDH mRNA analysis (a), in H7 and H15, and in H1, H3, and H30. For ICDH protein expression and liver ATP concentration analysis (c), in each group. , , and .
