Cerebral energy metabolism in mallard ducks during apneic asphyxia the role of oxygen conservation

Cerebral energy metabolism during apneic asphyxia and steady state hypoxia was compared in ducks and chickens; ducks tolerate apneic asphyxia 3-8 times longer than chickens. Fluctuations in the reduced form of respiratory chain nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) were monitored from the left c...
