Several studies have indicated that in birds breathing frequency (f, breaths min−1) scales to the −1/3 of body weight (W, kg); this is different from the −1/4 of mammals. We wondered if this discrepancy was due to the peculiar scaling pattern o

Pregnant rats were kept at a simulated altitude of 4,500 m (PO2 91 Torr) for the whole of gestation and returned to sea level 1 day after giving birth. During pregnancy, body weight gain and food intake were approximately 30% less than in controls at

The barometric method is a common technique for measurements of pulmonary ventilation in unrestrained animals. It basically consists of recording the changes in chamber pressure generated during breathing. In fact, as the air inspired is warmed and h

In fetuses and newborn infants heart rate variability changes in conditions of acute and chronic hypoxia; we therefore asked whether heart rate variability of infants born at high altitude differed from that of low-altitude infants. Short-term record

1. In newborn and adult rats, hypoxia decreases metabolic rate, especially at low ambient temperatures (Ta). We examined whether a similar effect can occur during hypercapnia. 2. We measured metabolism (oxygen consumption, Vo2, open flow-through meth

Sexually mature virgin female rats and mice have a higher mass-specific gas-exchange surface area (Sa) and smaller alveoli than same-aged males even though mass-specific oxygen consumption (VO2) is the same, within species, in both sexes (G. D. Massa

We questioned whether the relative composition of the diaphragm proteins [myosin heavy chain (MHC), actin, tropomyosin (TM)-alpha and TM-beta, and MHC isoforms] was altered by chronic hypoxia. Rats were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (inspired O2 press

We asked whether the ventilatory control of the newborn rat was modified by preceding daily episodes of anoxia. At thermoneutrality (ambient temperature, 32 degrees C) during anoxia, respiratory efforts lasted, on average, 28, 20, and 11 min at 1, 3,

Newborn rats were exposed to hypoxia (10% O2 + N2) from 24 h to day 6 of neonatal life and then returned to room air until 45 days of age (experimental). The rats were anaesthetized, heparinized, and exsanguinated. The chest was opened and the lungs

1. The trachea is constructed by a series of U-shaped cartilaginous rings supporting a membranous posterior wall. We have studied separately the pressure-volume relationships of the two components. 2. The motion of the membranous posterior wall contr
