However, a 3-fold increase in concentration of myoglobin ought to result in a similar fold increase in max time of breath holding, and the researchers determine that body mass also makes a critical contribution to an animal's ability to hold its breath, with the overall equation for the contribution of body mass and myoglobin net charge as follows: | However, a 3-fold increase in concentration of myoglobin ought to result in a similar fold increase in max time of breath holding, and the researchers determine that body mass also makes a critical contribution to an animal's ability to hold its breath, with the overall equation for the contribution of body mass and myoglobin net charge as follows: | ||
