Memory impairment associated with chronic hypoxia.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia exposure induces memory impairment in growing rats.

The study was aimed to examine the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on spatial memory of growing rats and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms. Sixty two rats were trained to perform the 8-arm radial maze task and were divided into four groups: 2-week-CIH (2IH) 2-week-control (2C) 4-week-CIH (4IH) and 4-week-control (4C). There were more reference memory errors, working mem...

Evidence that chronic hypoxia causes reversible impairment on male fertility.

AIM To evaluate the effect of chronic hypoxia on human spermatogenic parameters and their recovery time. METHODS Seminological parameters of six male healthy mountain trekkers were evaluated in normoxia at sea level. After 26 days exposure to altitude (ranging from 2 000 m to 5 600 m, Karakorum Expedition) the same parameters were again evaluated after returning to sea level. These parameters...
