A. Gill-respiration rates of Arctica islandica at four different pO2 without spermineNONONate; n = 9–12. ** Respiration rates differ significantly between 16 kPa and 2 kPa (One-way ANOVA and Tukey P < 0.005). B: Example of oxygen consumption by live gill tissue at 2 kPa under control conditions (without spermineNONONate, grey background), and under complete NO-induced inhibition of gill respiration (0.00 nmol O2 min-1 ml-1 mg-1 WM) within 20 min (yellow background) after adding spermineNONONate to the measurement (black arrow). Measurements conducted with an ISO-NOP electrode.
