Muscle adaptations in cold-acclimated carp may enhance low-temperature performance; leaves open relevance to mammalian cardiac muscle.
Thermal compensation of mechanical power output by carp skeletal muscle is matched by a concomitant increase in the potential to supply aerobically-generated ATP at low temperatures.
Johnston et al. (1985) studied this question.
