In young healthy male adults, a decrease in the mechanical load of the ventilatory apparatus was followed by readjustment in the respiratory cycle. During hyperventilation due to an enhanced hypercapnic stimulus, a reduction of resistance against breathing tells on the value of ventilatory response, the latter being greater than when breathing with mixtures of ordinary density. The data obtained confirm the significance of value of the mechanical load of respiratory apparatus for formation of ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia.

The hypothalamus is the gray matter of the ventral portion of the diencephalon. The hypothalamus is the higher center of the autonomic nervous system and is involved in the regulation of various homeostatic mechanisms. It also modulates respiration by facilitating the respiratory network.

To what extent sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of the type-5 phosphodiesterase modulates systemic redox status and cerebrovascular function during acute exposure to hypoxia remains unknown. To address this, 12 healthy males (aged 24 ± 3 y) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving exposure to both normoxia and acute (60 min) hypoxia (Fi = 0.14), followed by oral administration of 50 mg sildenafil and placebo (double-blinded).

The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum, G. Cuvier 1818) thrives both in the ion-poor waters of the Amazon and in commercial aquaculture. In both, environmental conditions can be harsh due to low ion levels, occasional high salt challenges (in aquaculture), low pH, extreme PO levels (hypoxia and hyperoxia), high PCO levels (hypercapnia), high ammonia levels (in aquaculture), and high and low temperatures.

The respiratory control system exhibits neural plasticity, adjusting future ventilatory responses based on experience. We tested the hypothesis that ventilatory long-term facilitation induced by hypercapnic acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) at rest enhances subsequent ventilatory responses to steady-state exercise. Fourteen healthy adults (age = 27 ± 5 years; 7 males) participated in the study.

At rest, the menstrual cycle phase impacts ventilation and chemosensitivity. However, during exercise there is inconclusive evidence that the menstrual cycle phase affects ventilation or chemosensitivity. We sought to examine the influence of menstrual phase and hormonal birth control (BC) on chemosensitivity.
