| Abstract: | Endogenous levels of TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1a are reported in dorsal aortic blood from rainbow trout. Acute hypoxia induced an increase in TXB2 levels whereas 6-keto PGF1a was unaffected. We suggest that enhanced thromboxane synthesis might have a role in microcirculation of various organs in fish hypoxia. |
