Popis: Preliminary adaptation of rats to hypoxia under conditions increasing resistance to many stressproducing agents not only had no protective effect against exposure to hyperbaric oxygen at pressures up to 6 kgf/cm2 but, conversely, lowered the resistance of the animals. The latent period of onset of seizures in the adapted rats was shortened especially if exposure to hyperbaric oxygen began 1 or 2 days after the end of adaptation to hypoxia, and was a little shorter in the experiments carried out after 3–4 days. The responses returned completely to normal 1 month after the end of adaptation to hypoxia. The possible causes of development of the phenomena are discussed.
