OBJECTIVE
In cyanotic patients undergoing repair of heart defects, chronic hypoxia is thought to lead to greater susceptibility to ischemia and reoxygenation injury. We sought to find an explanation to such a hypothesis by investigating the cardiac gene expression in patients with tetralogy of
The establishment of mycobacterial infection is characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are well-organized aggregates of immune cells, namely, infected macrophages. The granuloma's main function is to constrain and prevent dissemination of the mycobacteria while focusing the immune
This study aimed to investigate the effects of feeding rates on stress response, innate immunity and hypoxia resistance of juvenile blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala. Fish were randomly assigned to one of six feeding rates (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7% of body weight/day) for 60 days. Then, fish
Hypoxia is an increasing threat to aquatic ecosystems and its impact on economically and ecologically important marine fish species needs to be studied. Especially, the consequences of hypoxia when occurring along with harmful algal blooms (HABs) are currently not well documented. In this study, we
In aquatic animals, hypoxia is associated with growth retardation, impaired immunity, susceptibility to pathogens, oxidative stress, and mortality. However, the relative long-term effects of hypoxia on bivalves, including abalone, are not well understood. In this study, we examined the effects of
Hypoxia is one of the most frequently occurring stressors confronted by industrial cultures of sea cucumber and can cause large economic losses and resource degradation. However, its responsive mechanisms are still lacking. In this paper, the physiological responses of Apostichopus japonicus to
Neutrophilic granulocytes were exposed to an atmosphere of nearly 100% oxygen (hyperoxia) for one hour. The nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, reflecting oxygen radical release, was decreased both in resting and stimulated cells, but lysozyme release was unchanged. Short time exposure of
The results of this study indicate that the application of gas-air carbonate baths resulted in the reduction of alveolar hypoxia, moderate increase in the patency of central bronchi, marked improvement of pulmonary and systemic cardiohemodynamics, and functional state of cellular immunity. Courses
Stress enhances the disease susceptibility in fish by altering the innate immune responses, which are essential defense mechanisms. The use of probiotics is increasingly popular in the aquaculture industry. Yellow perch is a promising candidate for aquaculture. We investigated the efficiency of a
It was established in rat experiments that adaptation to altitude hypoxia leads to the enhancement of immune response to sheep red blood cells and to an increase in the serum lysozyme level. Adaptation to altitude hypoxia also suppresses adjuvant arthritis and prevents arthritis-induced inhibition
OBJECTIVE
To determine how immune markers are affected by acute hypoxic exercise at the same relative intensity.
METHODS
Twelve endurance-trained males (age: 28 ± 4 years, [Formula: see text]O2max: 63.7 ± 5.3 mL/kg/min) cycled for 75 min at 70 % of altitude-specific [Formula: see text]O2max, once in
Global change and anthropogenic activities have driven marine environment changes dramatically during the past century, and hypoxia, acidification and warming have received much attention recently. Yet, the interactive effects among these stressors on marine organisms are extremely complex and not
We evaluated the physiological and humoral immune responses of Eurasian perch submitted to 4-h hypoxia in either single or repeated way. Two generations (F1 and F5) were tested to study the potential changes in these responses with domestication. In both generations, single and repeated hypoxia
