Molecular shifts induced by hypoxia in grey seal blubber: an in vitro approach

Seals blubber undergo oxygen availability restrictions during diving and fattening. This study aims to better understand what are the molecular pathways affected by hypoxia in an in vitro model using blubber explants and chemically induced hypoxia. The data were collected as part of the PhD project "Characterising fat tissue structure and function in response to hypoxia in grey seals, an animal model of extreme fat deposition and mobilisation, using novel in vivo and in vitro approaches".
