A list of all pages that have property "Has abstract" with value "Environmental hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) is a significant threat facing fishes. As fishes require oxygen to efficiently produce ATP, hypoxia can significantly limit aerobic capacity. However, some fishes show respiratory flexibility that rescues aerobic performance, including plasticity in mitochondrial performance. This plasticity may result in increased mitochondrial efficiency (e.g., less proton leak), increased oxygen storage capacity (increased myoglobin), and oxidative capacity (e.g., higher citrate synthase activity) under hypoxia. We acclimated a hypoxia-tolerant fish, red drum (''Sciaenops ocellatus''), to 8-days of constant hypoxia to induce a hypoxic phenotype. Fish were terminally sampled for cardiac and red muscle tissue to quantify oxidative phosphorylation, proton leak, and maximum respiration in tissue from both hypoxia-acclimated and control fish. Tissue was also collected to assess the plasticity of citrate synthase enzyme activity and mRNA expression for select oxygen storage and antioxidant pathway transcripts. We found that mitochondrial respiration rates were not affected by hypoxia exposure in cardiac tissue, though citrate synthase activity and myoglobin expression were higher following hypoxia acclimation. Interestingly, measures of mitochondrial efficiency in red muscle significantly improved in hypoxia-acclimated inspaniduals. Hypoxia-acclimated fish had significantly higher OXPHOS Control Efficiency, OXPHOS Capacity and Coupling Control Ratios (i.e., LEAK/OXPHOS). There was no significant change to citrate synthase activity or myoglobin expression in red muscle. Overall, these results suggest that red muscle mitochondria of hypoxia-acclimated fish more efficiently utilize oxygen, which may explain previous reports in red drum of improved aerobic swimming performance in the absence of improved maximum metabolic rate following hypoxia acclimation.". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
