Altitude training and hypoxic exposure have gained significant ... oxygenation was better maintained in hypoxia than in the brain, suggesting that different tissues may respond uniquely to hypoxic ...

Welcome to the homepage for the Jack Borgenicht Hypoxia/Altitude Physiology Research Facility. The links on this page provide information about the facility, research activity and personnel. For more ...

A new study published in the journal Neuroscience has found that long-term exposure to high-altitude conditions can slow down ...

Cerebral edema may occur in both conditions ... developing situation seems to arise on exposure to acute hypoxic stress at high altitude. Thus, a considerable increase in adrenocortical activity ...

Objectives: To compare a range of physiological responses to acute sea level hypoxia at simulated altitudes with the same physiological responses and acute mountain sickness (AMS) scores measured at ...

Taken together, some athletes are clearly more negatively affected during exercise in hypoxia than other athletes. With careful screening, it may be possible to develop a protocol for determining ...

Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have developed a drug that mimics the effects of breathing low oxygen. In mice with Leigh Syndrome—the most common childhood mitochondrial disease—the HypoxyStat ...

An integral component of the cellular response to environmental challenge is expression, usually by de novo protein synthesis, of stress-associated polypeptides 1, such as heat-shock proteins ...

No one knows this better than professor Grégoire Millet, perhaps the world’s leading expert in altitude or “hypoxic” training ... serves as a signal to our brain that we need to breathe ...

Dr. Lord explained that while high-altitude activities such as hiking can cause lack of oxygen in the testis, or hypoxia, the effects on fertility are usually only temporary. "The good news for ...

Serious hypoxia can cause your heart and breathing to stop suddenly (cardiorespiratory arrest). It can also damage your brain and other organs within minutes. With hypoxemia, your breathing and ...
