Oxygen Variations-Insights into Hypoxia, Hyperoxia and Hyperbaric Hyperoxia-Is the Dose the Clue?

Costantino Balestra et al. Int J Mol Sci. .

Abstract

Molecular oxygen (O2) is one of the four most important elements on Earth (alongside carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen); aerobic organisms depend on it to release energy from carbon-based molecules [...].

Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Percentual variations in microparticles (MPs) after 60 min of oxygen breathing. Levels of oxygen are shown on the ordinate, and total MPs and MP sub-types are shown on the abscissa. Blood sampling occurred 120 min after exposures (in a total of 48 subjects). Results are expressed in the heat map as mean percentage change (modified from [9]).
Figure 2
Figure 2
Percentual variations in ROS production after 60 min of oxygen breathing. Levels of oxygen are shown in the figure legend (48 subjects in total). Results are expressed as mean percentage change of control values (modified from [16,38,49]) (*: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001, ****: p < 0.0001; RM-ANOVA and Dunnet’s post hoc test).
