Effects of chronic hypoxia on the activities of key enzymes of energy metabolism (standardized either per gram tissue or per gram protein) in various tissues of naked mole-rats (n = 12 mole-rats in normoxia and n = 9 mole-rats in hypoxia) are shown. No effect of hypoxia is indicated by NS (P > 0.05). Significant effects of hypoxia are indicated as

*

P < 0.05,

**

P < 0.01, and

***

P < 0.001, presented as percent differences between treatments.
