| == Systematic definition of normoxia as a reference for hypoxia == | | == Terms == |
|
| |
|
| === Categories of normoxia ===
| | ::::* Hypoxemia, anoxemia |
| | ::::* Asphyxia |
| | ::::* Anemia |
|
| |
|
| :::: 1. Environmental conditions
| | == References - picked up == |
| ::::::* Normoxia may be defined arbitrarily (like altitude relative to sealevel) as air-level ''p''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub> at sealevel in air or in the aqueous extra-organismic environment.
| | ::::* https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.16319 |
| :::: 2. Compartmental respiratory cascade
| |
| ::::::* Normoxia may be defined arbitrarily as the ''p''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub> in any given compartment of a living organism (alveolar, arterial, venous, mixed-venous, intracellular) obtained under environmental normoxia in a steady state of physiological routine activity (here ‘routine’ is organismic physiological, whereas ‘ROUTINE’ is cellular physiological).
| |
| :::: 3. Biological response
| |
| ::::::* For any function, normoxic performance is defined as the biological response that does not deviate from the physiological function measured under environmental or compartmental normoxia.
| |
| | |
| === Causes of deviations from normoxia === | |
| | |
| :::: Starting from definitions of categories environmental normoxia, compartmental normoxia, and normoxic function, the causes for deviations from normoxia are considered:
| |
| | |
| :::: 1. Environmental hypoxia and hyperoxia
| |
| ::::::* Hypobaric conditions: high altitude or low-pressure chamber with air
| |
| ::::::* Hyperbaric conditions: high-pressure chamber, diving with air
| |
| ::::::* Normobaric: O<sub>2</sub> deprivation in the environment (environmental normobaric hypoxia), O<sub>2</sub> supplementation (environmental normobaric hyperoxia)
| |
| | |
| :::: 2. Compartmental hypoxia and hyperoxia
| |
| ::::::* Environmentally induced hypoxia or hyperoxia on the compartmental level (living organism)
| |
| ::::::* Physiologically induced hypoxia on the compartmental level: tissue-work related (living organism at high work load of a tissue)
| |
| ::::::* O<sub>2</sub>-transport related hypoxia (pathological: ischemia and stroke, anaemia, chronic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe COVID-19, obstructive sleep apnea, CO poisoning)
| |
| ::::::* Experimental for isolated organs, tissues, cells, and organelles: deviations of incubation O<sub>2</sub> levels of experimental preparations from compartmental or biological normoxia in the intact organism
| |
| | |
| :::: 3. Biological hypoxia and hyperoxia
| |
| ::::::* Compartmental: tissue-work related
| |
| ::::::* Compartmental: pathological
| |
| ::::::* Genetic: inhibition or acceleration of O<sub>2</sub>-linked pathways (mutations, knockout, knockin)
| |
| ::::::* Pharmacological-toxicological: inhibition or acceleration of O<sub>2</sub>-linked pathways (cyanide, rotenone, NO, ..; doping, ..)
