Abstract:Myoglobin acts as an oxygen store and a reactive oxygen species acceptor in muscles.
We examined myoglobin mRNA in rat cardiac ventricle and skeletal muscles during the
first 42 days of life and the impact of transient neonatal hypo- and hyperthyroidism
on the myoglobin gene expression pattern. Cardiac ventricle and skeletal muscles of
Wistar rats at 7-42 days of life were quickly removed, and myoglobin mRNA was
determined by Northern blot analysis. Rats were treated with propylthiouracil (5-10
mg/100 g) and t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
