Myoglobin is a cytoplasmic hemoprotein that is restricted to cardiomyocytes and oxidative
skeletal myofibers and facilitates oxygen delivery during periods of high metabolic demand …

Myoglobin is a cytoplasmic hemoprotein that is restricted to cardiomyocytes and oxidative
skeletal muscle fibers. Myoglobin is a well-characterized protein and numerous studies have …

Myoglobin is an abundant hemoprotein that is expressed in cardiomyocytes and oxidative
skeletal myofibers of vertebrates. Elegant studies using physiological, biochemical and …

Myoglobin may serve a variety of functions in muscular oxygen supply, such as O2 storage,
facilitated O2 diffusion, and myoglobin-mediated oxidative phosphorylation. We studied the …

Myoglobin-deficient mice are viable and have preserved cardiac function due to their ability
to mount a complex compensatory response involving increased vascularization and the …

Myoglobin knockout (myo-/-) mice were previously reported to show no obvious phenotype
but revealed several compensatory mechanisms that include increases in cardiac capillary …

THE EFFECTS OF HYPOXIA on mammalian heart and muscle have fascinated physiologists
for many a day. Myoglobin is expressed adaptively in muscle. In very young animals, and in …

Myoglobin is an oxygen storage molecule that is selectively expressed in cardiac and slow-
twitch skeletal muscles that have a high oxygen demand. Numerous studies have implicated …

Hemoproteins are widely distributed among prokaryotes, unicellular eukaryotes, plants and
animals. Myoglobin, a cytoplasmic hemoprotein that is restricted to cardiomyocytes and …

THE ROLE OF MYOGLOBIN as an oxygen storage protein in the muscles of diving birds and
mammals is well-established (8). In contrast, the function of the lower myoglobin content in …
