... conditions to investigate the influence of developmental oxygen partial pressure ( P O 2 ) on adult metabolic,respiratory and cardiovascular physiology. Developmental P O 2 had no effect on metabolic rate or metabolic response to hypoxic exposure in adults. All rearing groups decreased O 2 consumption...

... al . 1984 ). The present study in Sipunculus nudus was designed to investigate the contribution of acid-base relevant transepithelial ion transfer mechanisms during aerobic and anaerobic metabolic conditions associated with changing environmental oxygen partial pressures. The central aim...
