چکیده

The chemical regulation of respiration in various species of reptiles has earlier been studied by Siefert (1896), Babak (1914a, b), v. Saalfeld (1934), Vos (1936), Boelaert (1941,1942), Randal, Stullken & Hiestand (1944), and B. Nielsen (1961). A survey of the literature was given by Vos (1936). The present work deals with the effect of different concentrations of O2 in the inspiratory air on respiration of lizards. Further, the combined action of CO2 and different O2 percentages has been studied. Two species of lizard, Lacerta viridis and Tarentola mauretanica served as experimental animals.

Quantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung

Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...

Effects of hypoxia and hypercapnia on aerobic metabolic processes in northern elephant seals.

An hypoxia-induced metabolic down-regulation has been implicated as an important protective mechanism against tissue deoxygenation in mammals. Whether the same response to hypoxia occurs in northern elephant seals was studied. The effects of hypercapnia were also examined to determine whether the reduced ventilatory response of seals to CO2 is associated with an analogous protective metabolic d...

Cisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...

Effects of tramadol on electrocardiogram, mean electrical axis and respiration in Kagani goats (Capra hircus)

The effects of tramadol on electrocardiogram (ECG), mean electrical axis and respiratory rates were studied in adult kagani goats after intramuscular administration of tramadol at 1 mg/kg b.wt. as a prelude to its clinical use as an analgesic in veterinary practice. The ECG was monitored by standard bipolar leads and discernible electrocardiographic features were observed in lead II. The normal...
