Study Finds Red Blood Cells Improve Glucose Tolerance at High AltitudeWhy do people living at high altitudes often have better blood sugar ...

Diabetes reversed in mice with a pill mimicking high altitude hypoxia. Scientists say red blood cells hold the key.

Chronic hypoxia improves glucose tolerance in mice through insulin-independent mechanisms, with red blood cells acting as a major systemic glucose sink. Increased erythrocyte production and altered ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low ...

Anoxia happens when parts of the body do not get any oxygen due to stroke, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other causes. Stagnant anoxia occurs when a disease or injury limits blood flow. Anemic anoxia ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...

Study in mouse model of Parkinson’s disease suggests that cellular dysfunction leads to accumulation of excess oxygen in the brain, fueling neurodegeneration. If confirmed in humans, the findings ...

Some 99% of global newborn deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where pregnant women often struggle to access adequate fetal monitoring. In Tanzania, with 24 neonatal deaths per 1 ...
