EDL protein carbonyl and free thiol content after 1, 3, and 6 weeks of sustained hypoxia compared to normoxic controls. (A) EDL protein carbonyl content (mean ± SEM) after 1, 3, and 6 weeks of sustained hypoxia expressed as normalized fluorescence intensity; n = 4–8 per group; (B) EDL protein free thiol content (mean ± SEM) after 1, 3, and 6 weeks of sustained hypoxia expressed as normalized fluorescence intensity; n = 6–8 per group; ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001, ns, not significant; Student t-test or Mann-Whitney test as appropriate; Ctrl, normoxic control; Hypoxia, sustained hypoxia (FiO₂ = 0.1).
