Effects of exposure to and recovery from acute hypoxia in the PD2 (upper panel) and PD60 (lower panel) rat: plasma acylcarnitine profiling. Rats were sacrificed at baseline (black bars), 2 h after the onset of hypoxia (light gray bars), or 2 h after return to normoxia (dark gray bars). Acylcarnitine molecular species are listed on the x-axis. N = 4 per time point (within each age group). Plasma samples for PD2 rats were pooled in order to generate one sample (N = 4 pups/sample). *Significant difference from baseline by one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05). ⁺Significant difference from baseline and 2 h of hypoxia by one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05). ND = not detected.
