How can you use “normoxic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
eNOS expression in the lung, as studied using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, was increased 1.5-fold following hypoxia as compared with normoxic conditions, whereas iNOS expression was increased 3.5-fold (Fig.
[ 42] found that plasma NO metabolite levels were markedly increased compared with normoxic controls when animals were exposed to 21% O 2 , but were not increased when rats were breathing 10% O 2 . This suggests that hypoxia inhibited NO production despite the increase in NOS expression.
Hypoxic animals were also more polycythemic than were normoxic animals (70% ± 4% in hypoxic animals versus 45% ± 3% and 42% ± 3% for animal subjected to sea level and ambient conditions, respectively; P < 0.001).
However, those investigators did not observe any difference in plasma NO metabolites in normoxic versus hypoxic rats in which aortic NOS was downregulated, but did observe a decrease in acetylcholine-stimulated NO release from aortic rings.
