2D western blot analysis using anti-TTR antibody.

<p>The 32.4-kDa spot distinctly reacted with the anti-transthyretin antibody. Weak immunoreaction at 14.0 kDa was also detected and was interpreted as a monomer of TTR. The blotted membrane was stained with gold-colloid stain, and the area of immunoreaction was confirmed to correspond to the 32.4-kDa spot detected by 2D DIGE.</p

Schedule of blood sampling during saturation diving (SD) at 60, 100, and 200 msw.

<p>At 60 msw (n = 4) and 100-msw (n = 5) SD, venous blood was sampled from 9 divers at three time points: just before SD training, 17 h after reaching the respective target depths, and just after SD training. The time points are shown by red arrows (1–3). In 200 msw SD, venous blood was sampled at the same three time points mentioned previously plus 4 additional time points (compression phase reached at 100 msw, day 3 and day 7 in the hyperbaric condition at 200 msw, and the decompression phase at 100 msw). The 7 time points are indicated by blue arrows (1–7) during SD to 200 msw in 5 of 6 divers.</p
