Adaptive response of brain tissue oxygenation to environmental hypoxia in non-sedated, non-anesthetized arctic ground squirrels
The present study examined the physiological mechanisms of the responses of brain tissue oxygen partial pressure (PtO2), brain temperature (Tbrain), global oxygen consumption V̇o2, and respiratory frequency (fR) to hypoxia in non-sedated and non-anesthetized arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus par...
