Abstract:Seven stress susceptible (SS) and six stress resistant (SR) pigs were identified by response to halothane anesthesia. Mitochondria and heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments were isolated from biopsies of the semimembranosus muscle. The muscle pH was significantly lower (P<.01) in the SS pigs compared to the SR pigs at biopsy. The mitochondrial respiratory traits, state 3 and state 4 respiration, respiratory control index and ADP/0 ratio, however, were not significantly different (P>.05) for the two groups of … 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.
