  • Title: Haemoglobin Bohr effect and lactic acid content of the blood of 2 water-snakes with different degrees of aquatic adaptation.
    Author: Ogo SH, Focesi A.
    Journal: Experientia; 1979 Jul 15; 35(7):862-3. PubMed ID: 38985.
    Abstract:
    H. modestus, a water-snake with morphological respiratory adaptation to its habitat, presents haemoglobins with a lower Bohr effect than those of L. miliaris, an aquatic snake without such respiratory adaptations. The difference in blood lactic acid content of the 2 snakes submitted to mechanical stimuli appears to be compatible with the properties of their haemoglobins.
