Example sentences for: hypoxic
How can you use “hypoxic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It is well known that acute lung infection and septic shock may impair hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction through the massive release from activated endothelium of vasodilating mediators such as prostaglandins and endogenous NO, and hence result in disproportionately high shunting and hypoxemia [ 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32].
The hypobaric chambers used in the present study have a higher rate of air exchange than other hypoxic gas chambers, thus limiting the build-up of waste products, including ammonia, that may contribute to lung inflammation and induction of iNOS, as the combination of hypoxia and inflammation has previously been reported to increase iNOS expression [ 23].
During exercise, slow twitch motor units serving oxidative fibers are recruited first during moderate exercise, and motor units serving glycolytic fibers are recruited later and during more severe exercise [ 1 ] . This is in contrast to electrical stimulation of sufficient intensity where all motor units are thought to be activated simultaneously [ 31 ] . The larger regional difference in VEGF mRNA signal after electrical stimulation may be due to the fact that this protocol was more metabolically demanding than the treadmill exercise protocol, or indeed because the rat muscle was hypoxic during electrical stimulation.
We therefore hypothesized that NOS isoforms are upregulated following hypoxia and that this may account for the increased susceptibility to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in mice that lack eNOS [ 9, 12].
Conversely, eNOS levels were increased in hypoxic uterine, but not femoral or renal arteries of pregnant sheep [ 39].
