We expose methods for in vivo assessment of oxygen, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/reactive nitrogen species (RNS), in the microcirculation during normoxia and hypoxia. We provide an example of the related mechanisms of ROS/RNS and oxygen level in the process of regulating capillary perfusion. Namely, we discuss the real time pO(2) measurements in vivo in the microvessels and tissues of the hamster cheek pouch and window chamber preparations during normoxia and hypoxia, as well as the corresponding changes in ROS/RNS in systemic blood during normoxia and hypoxia under conditions where NO availability is maximally reduced.

The cardiac response of the goldfish Carassius auratus to environmental hypoxia: from hemodynamics to mitochondria.

Under low O, the heart of Carassius auratus (goldfish) shows an enhanced hemodynamics. This is observed in ex vivo cardiac preparations from animals acclimated to both normoxia and short-term (4 days) moderate hypoxia and perfused for 90 min with a hypoxic medium. Under short-term hypoxia, this is associated with a higher ventricular muscularity and an expanded mitochondrial compartment.

The mitochondria play a key role in maintaining oxygen homeostasis under normal oxygen tension (normoxia) and during oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). This is a critical balancing act between the oxygen content of the blood, the tissue oxygen sensing mechanisms, and the mitochondria, which ultimately consume most oxygen for energy production. We describe the well-defined role of the mitochondria in oxygen metabolism with a special focus on the impact on blood physiology and pathophysiology.

Little is known regarding the effects high-intensity training performed in hypoxia on the oxidative stress and antioxidant systems. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effect of 4 weeks of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) on the redox balance. Forty male well-trained cyclists were matched into two different interventions (RSH, = 20) or in normoxia, RSN, = 20) and tested twice (before (Pre-) and after (Post-) a 4-week of training) for performance (repeated sprint ability (RSA) test), oxidative stress, and antioxidant status.

Hypoxia is common in breast tumours and is linked to therapy resistance and advanced disease. To understand hypoxia-driven breast cancer progression, RT-qPCR is a widely used technique to quantify transcriptional changes that occur during malignant transformation. Reference genes (RGs) are endogenous RT-qPCR controls used to normalise mRNA levels, allowing accurate assessment of transcriptional changes.

Hypoxia is a key feature of the tumor microenvironment that leads to the failure of many chemotherapies and induces more aggressive and resistant cancer phenotypes. Up to date, there are very few compounds and treatments that can target hypoxia. BE-43547A from Streptomyces sp.
