1. Acid-base values in umbilical cord blood at birth
Abstract : Umbilical cord blood acid-base status at birth gives an objective evaluation of the fetal exposure and response to hypoxia during labor. The objective of this thesis was to elucidate methodological issues associated with interpretation of cord blood gases. READ MORE

2. Endogenous Nitric Oxide Production and Pulmonary Blood Flow : during different experimental lung conditions
Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important regulator of pulmonary blood flow and attenuates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Nitric oxide is synthesized enzymatically in a number of tissues, including the lungs, and can also be generated from reduction of nitrite during hypoxia and acidosis. READ MORE

3. Training-induced increase in mitochondrial biogenesis
Abstract : Endurance training leads to an improved ability of muscle to utilize oxygen. This is related to an increased density and function of mitochondria. READ MORE

4. Adaptive mechanisms in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Functional role of proteoglycans and identification of potential treatment targets
Abstract : Cancer cells reside in a complex microenvironment comprising stromal cells and immune cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM). Early on in tumor progression, cells reach a critical volume beyond which blood supply is impaired, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels (hypoxia) and nutrient supply. READ MORE

5. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of ischemic brain damage in hyperglycemic rats
Abstract : The present study is centered on mechanisms of ischemic brain damage in hyperglycemic animals, and in those in which exaggerated intraischemic acidosis was induced by superimposed hypercapnia in normoglycemic animals. The initial experiments were focussed on the pathophysiology of postischemic seizures. READ MORE
