Abstract
Hypoxic conditioning (HC) is a novel approach that employs intermittent hypoxia for health and wellness purposes, fundamentally differing from the well-known method of hypoxic training (HT). We compared the effects of various modes of HC and HT on the neurological and antioxidant status and the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis and thyroid systems in rats. It was found that HC had a more beneficial effect on the nervous system, which was accompanied by a transient decrease in antioxidant activity in the hippocampus and an increase in blood glucocorticoid levels on the first day. HT inhibited the thyroid function, while conditioning regimens produced a less pronounced effect.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
