ATP-induced temperature independence of hemoglobin–O2 affinity in heterothermic billfish [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
SUMMARY The inverse relationship between temperature and hemoglobin–O2 affinity resulting from the exothermic nature of heme oxygenation favors O2 unloading from blood to warm, metabolically active tissues. However, this temperature sensitivity is maladaptive, and commonly countered in regional heterotherms, where it may hamper unloading
