Adipose tissue plays a central role in energy balance and endocrine regulation, yet excessive expansion during obesity often outstrips vascular supply, leading to regions of low oxygen tension. This ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. As altitude increases, the partial pressure of oxygen will decrease and cause hypobaric hypoxia conditions. During hypoxia, anaerobic ...

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in ...

The results of a study in a mouse model of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) suggest that the low blood oxygen levels (hypoxia) caused by the condition can lead to widespread changes in gene activity in ...

If the oxygen level in organs and tissues falls below normal, hypoxia occurs. Then the body launches defensive responses. In many ways, they coincide and overlap with the response to inflammation, ...

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in ...

The Jack Borgenicht Hypoxia/Altitude Physiology Research Facility (JBHARF) operates a normobaric hypoxia chamber at a “normal” sea level atmospheric pressure of approximately 760 torr (1 torr = 1/760 ...
