Antioxidant enzymes in ringed seal tissues: Potential protection against dive-associated ischemia/reperfusion
TL;DR: The results suggest that in ringed seal heart SOD, GPx and GST activities are an efficient protective mechanism for counteracting ROS production and its deleterious effects.

Diving seals: are they a model for coping with oxidative stress?
TL;DR: Ringed seal muscle, heart and kidney can be induced in vitro to generate ROS, and it is suggested that the living seal's protective defenses may depend upon O(2)(.-) production, similar to the protective effect of experimental preconditioning, or on enhanced intermediate scavenging, as evidenced by the larger AOX found in ringed seal tissues.

Cardiac output and its distribution through capillaries and A‐V shunts in diving seals
TL;DR: Detailed data for discrete tissues elaborate the concept of selective redistribution of cardiac output in diving seals and non-uniform reperfusion contributes to the maintenance of arterial pressure during recovery.

Coping with Physiological Oxidative Stress: A Review of Antioxidant Strategies in Seals
TL;DR: Understanding the mechanisms that naturally allow mammals to avoid oxidative damage has the potential to advance the knowledge of oxidative stress-induced pathologies and to enhance the translative value of biomedical therapies in the long term.
Glutathione protection against dive-associated ischemia/reperfusion in ringed seal tissues
TL;DR: The potential antioxidant protection of the glutathione system against dive-induced ischemia/reperfusion in ringed seal tissues was addressed.
