Inflammation increases vulnerability to hypoxia in newborn piglets: Effect of reoxygenation with 21% and 100% O2

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to assess whether inflammation increases vulnerability to hypoxia, and influences the effect of 100% O2 and 21% O2 reoxygenation on brain. Endotoxin and hypoxia acted synergistically in including metabolic acidosis and 21% O2 seemed as effective as 100% O2 in the presence of experimental inflammation for reoxygenating piglets.
