The effect of chronic hypobaric conditions on enzyme activities in guinea-pig sartorius muscle.
The activities of a number of enzymes concerned with energy metabolism have been studied in homogenates of sartorius muscle of the guinea-pig under chronic hypobaric conditions. No changes in the activities were observed. It is concluded that 'white' muscle, which does not depend greatly on oxidative catabolism, is unaffected by chronic hypoxia.
