Arterial blood gas data in E-IH rats during cycling
| Parameter | Pre | Nadir | Post | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Po2, Torr | 69.7 ± 0.9 | 38.0 ± 7.6* | 71.0 ± 1.7 | 4 |
| Pco2, Torr | 31.3 ± 1.8 | 26.3 ± 1.5 | 27.7 ± 0.7 | 3 |
| pH | 7.47 ± 0.040 | 7.47 ± 0.020 | 7.48 ± 0.009 | 3 |
Arterial Po2, Pco2, and pH following 4 wk eucapnic intermittent hypoxia (E-IH) exposure. Measurements were obtained in conscious rats before (Pre), during (Nadir), and after (Post) 1 E-IH cycle. Values are means ± SE; n= number of rats.
