Short-Term Sustained Hypoxia Elevates Basal and Hypoxia-Induced Ventilation but Not the Carotid Body Chemoreceptor Activity in Rats
Exposure to chronic sustained hypoxia (SH), as experienced in high altitudes, elicits an increase in ventilation, named ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH). We previously showed that rats exposed to short-term (24 h) SH exhibit enhanced abdominal expiratory motor activity at rest, accompani...
