PGI, phosphoglucoisomerase; ALD, aldolase; PYK, pyruvate kinase; LDH,lactate dehydrogenase; PFK, phosphofructokinase; GAPDH,glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; PGK, phosphoglycerokinase; MDH,malate dehydrogenase; FBPase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase; HK, hexokinase.

The enzymes shown are those that were significantly different between treatment groups at P≤0.001. n.d. not determined.

↑ Higher in hypoxia than in normoxia; ↓ Lower in hypoxia than in normoxia.
