Adaptive strategies of aquatic mammals: Exploring the role of the HIF pathway and hypoxia tolerance

Abstract Aquatic mammals (marine and freshwater species) share significant and similar adaptations, enabling them to tolerate hypoxia during regular breath-hold diving. Despite the established importance of HIF1A, a master regulator in the molecular mechanism of hypoxia response, and other associate...
