Figure 2

Changes in (A) the ETS activity [Type I (earlier) response], (B) the relative COX1 and ND-2 mRNA levels [Type III (stronger) response] and (C) AMPK phosphorylation levels [Type IV (more sensitive) response] in the mantle of heat hardened (H) and non-hardened (C) Mytilus galloprovincialis when exposed to 24 °C (a,d), 26 °C (b,e) and 28 °C (c,f) compared to control at 18 °C. Representative blots are shown. Blots were quantified using scanning densitometry. Full-length blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Fig. 1. Values are means ± SD, n = 8 preparations from different animals. *p < 0.05 compared to day 0, +p < 0.05 compared to non-hardened (C) mussels.
