Resumen

We compared hemoglobin affinity (P₅₀) and structure of high altitude (HA) carnivores with populations of the same species or genus living at sea level (SL). P₅₀ was measured in cats, pumas and foxes. It differed in animals occupying both niches. SL: cat 29.3 torr, puma 36.3 torr, fox 26.2 torr; HA: cat 22.5 torr, puma 3 1.1 torr, fox 18.5 torr. Heme and globins were fractionated by HPLC. Puma and fox hemoglobins also showed structural differences. P₅₀ is lower in genotypically HA-adapted species studied and can differentiate SL and HA populations of the same species.
