The Bohr effect, ie the pH dependence of the oxygen affinity of haemoglobins (Hbs) from a
variety of vertebrates, and its modulation by temperature and other heterotropic effectors has …

Evolution has adopted different strategies to solve the problem of transporting oxygen to
respiring tissues, according to needs dictated by the environment. A thermodynamic …

The muskox and reindeer are the only ruminants that have evolved to survive in harsh Arctic
environments. However, the genetic basis of this Arctic adaptation remains largely unclear …

Air-breathing fishes represent interesting organisms in terms of understanding the
physiological changes associated with the terrestrialization of vertebrates, and, further, are …

Considering the variety of species that depend on hemoglobin for oxygen transport, these
molecules must execute their primary function under extreme environmental conditions …

Haemoglobins from mammals of sub-Arctic and Arctic species, as well as fetal human Hb,
are all characterized by a significantly lower Δ H of oxygenation compared with the majority …

The effect of temperature on the oxygen‐binding properties of hemoglobin (Hb) from
ruminants, such as ox, reindeer, musk ox, mouflon and egyptian water buffalo is compared …

Recent evidence strongly suggests that the cystic fibrosis gene product (CFTR) is a Cl−
channel. Its properties, however, differ from those of a 30–50 pS outwardly rectifying channel …

It has been generally assumed that mammals have blood with a greater temperature
sensitivity than ectothermic organisms. Recent results have shown that in some species of …

1. The oxygen binding properties of the hemoglobin from the Lesser Rorqual, Balaenoptera
acutorostrata, has been investigated with respect to the possible effects of organic …
