SCHAEFER, KARL E., NANCY MCCABE, AND JUDITH WITHERS. Stress response in chronic hypercajmia. Am. J. Physiol. 214(3) : 543-548. 1968.-Respiratory acidosis induced by prolonged exposure of guinea pigs to 15% COz in 21y0 O2 was compensated after 3 days of exposure. Adrenal cortical response as measured by a rise of blood corticosteroids, adrenal cholesterol depletion, and lymphopenia was limited to the 3-day phase of uncompensated respiratory acidosis. The same was true for adrenal medullary stimulation as indicated by adrenal epinephrine depletion. Free fatty acid levels did not change during the 1 st hr of exposure to 15% COz, but showed a 100% rise after 6 hr of exposure and returned to initial levels with the compensation of the respiratory acidosis. Intermittent daily 8-hr exposure to 15% CO2 for 7 days did neither produce a compensation of the respiratory acidosis nor an abatement of the sympathoadrenal stimulation. Significant changes in body weight consisting in a 10% loss occurred only during the first 2 days of exposure to 15% COZ. Adrenal enlargement and lymphatic involution accompanying the sympathicoadrenal response to respiratory acidosis outlasted the functional changes and were still present after 7 days of exposure to 15% COz.

A laboratory level microcosm analysis of the impacts of ocean acidification on the environmental stress biomarkers in Portunus pelagicus (Linneaus 1758)exposed to a series of pH regimes expected in the year 2100 (pH 7.5 and 7.0) and leakage from a sub-seabed carbon dioxide storage site (pH 6.5 - 5.5) was carried out. Levels of the antioxidant enzyme catalase, the phase II detoxificatio...

CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO HYPERCAPNIA AND VARYING LEVELS OF ARTERIAL pH IN THE ANESTHETIZED CAT

Effects of acute hypercapnia on the cardiovascular system (CYS) were studied in the anesthetized cat. After surgery the animal was exposed to a gas mixture of 12% CO2 and 25% O2 in nitrogen, and hypercapnia with low levels of arterial pH (pHa) was produced for 20 minutes. In the second run the same level of hypercapnia was induced by ventilating the same cat from the above gas mixture but ...

Neuronal death during combined intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia is due to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Breathing-disordered states, such as in obstructive sleep apnea, which are cyclical in nature, have been postulated to induce neurocognitive morbidity in both pediatric and adult populations. The oscillatory nature of intermittent hypoxia, especially when chronic, may mimic the paradigm of ischemia-reperfusion in that tissues and cells are exposed to episodes of low and high O(2) and this may l...

Transition from acute to chronic hypercapnia in patients with periodic breathing: predictions from a computer model.

Acute hypercapnia may develop during periodic breathing from an imbalance between abnormal ventilatory patterns during apnea and/or hypopnea and compensatory ventilatory response in the interevent periods. However, transition of this acute hypercapnia into chronic sustained hypercapnia during wakefulness remains unexplained. We hypothesized that respiratory-renal interactions would play a criti...
