Hyperoxia-a-journey-to-the-centre-of-the-cell

2021 24 Jun

An overview of hyperoxia, effect of reactive oxygen species on biological processes and tissues and  effective strategies for oxygen therapy. The reliance of life on oxygen is a modern and terra-centric view. Oxygen only appeared on the scene about 450 million years ago – wiping out many life forms or forcing them to trap oxygen with...Read more

Study-hyperoxia-alters-microcirculation-in-healthy-volunteers

2015 19 Jan

Hyperoxia may induce vasoconstriction and alter endothelial function. However, recent data suggest a potential therapeutic role of normobaric hyperoxia (NH) in sepsis and cerebral ischaemia. In this study, researchers evaluated the effects of NH on the microcirculation in 40 healthy adult volunteers using side-stream dark field (SDF) video-microscopy...Read more
