Saleem_R_Plasticity and evolved changes in mitochondrial physiology of skeletal muscles in high-altitude deer mice Item
Abstract
This research explores how changes in mitochondrial function across four skeletal muscles with varying oxidative capacities contribute to the remarkable ability of certain animals to thrive in the hypoxic environment at high altitude, focusing on deer mice, North America’s highest dwelling mammal with the broadest elevational range.
