Seesaw diagram outlining some of the potential differential effects of hypoxia in humans and examples of the various protective or perpetuating factors that may influence the balance between harm and benefit. Current study findings are highlighted in blue. BP = blood pressure; CNS = central nervous system; CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure; CV = cardiovascular; UA = upper airway.
