In the hypoglycemic condition, the HET mice were more sensitive to oxidative stress than the WT. In addition, following exposure to sub-toxic HBO, which does not induce CNS-OT, BGL were higher in the HET mice compared with the WT. The expression of mRNA of GLUT1 and HIF-1a decreased in the hippocampus in the HET mice, while the protein level decreased in the HET and WT following HBO exposure. The results suggest that the higher BGL following HBO exposure especially at SOD2 HET mice is in part due to reduction in GLUT1 as a consequence of lower HIF-1a expression.

Pelvic floor muscle landmark displacement modulated with ribcage motion during breathing. This relationship was stronger for: i) motion of the urethrovesical junction (puborectalis muscle length change) than the mid-urethra landmark (striated urethral sphincter muscle length change), and ii) dead-space breathing in standing than dead-space breathing in supine or quiet breathing in standing. In most (but not all) participants, the urethrovesical junction descended during inspiration and elevated during expiration. Striated urethral sphincter length changes during the respiratory cycle was independent of intra-abdominal pressure. In summary, breathing involves pelvic floor muscle length changes and is consistent with the role of these muscles during respiration to aid maintenance of continence, lung ventilation and/or provision of support to the abdominal cavity.
