Targeting the Mild-Hypoxia Driving Force for Metabolic and Muscle Transcriptional Reprogramming of Gilthead Sea Bream (<i>Sparus aurata</i>) Juveniles by Fernando Naya-Català, Juan A. Martos-Sitcha, Verónica de las Heras, Paula Simó-Mirabet, Josep À. Calduch-Giner, Jaume Pérez-Sánchez

“…Despite these changes in substrate preference, M-HYP fish shared a persistent improvement in swimming performance with a higher critical speed at exercise exhaustion. The machinery of muscle contraction and protein synthesis and breakdown was also largely altered by mild-hypoxia conditioning, contributing this metabolic re-adjustment to the positive regulation of locomotion and to the catch-up growth response during the normoxia recovery period. …”
