Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...

A dangerously low oxygen level—usually below 92%—can cause shortness of breath, confusion, chest pain, or fainting. It’s ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low ...

Scientists have discovered that red blood cells act as hidden glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why people ...

Diabetes reversed in mice with a pill mimicking high altitude hypoxia. Scientists say red blood cells hold the key.

On the average, humans – and pigs, and deer, and birds – who live at high altitudes have better blood glucose control than ...

Blood oxygen levels refer to the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels fall between 75 and 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) on arterial blood gas (ABG) test results.

Scientists have revealed that low-frequency ultrasound influences blood parameters. The findings suggest that ultrasound's effect on haemoglobin can improve oxygen's transfer from the lungs to bodily ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Hypoxia, or reduced oxygen levels, in prostate tumors significantly predicts a poor long-term biochemical outcome, regardless of other prognostic factors, such as tumor ...

In the complex landscape of cancer, tumors create their own microenvironment, often marked by low oxygen levels, a condition known as hypoxia. Hypoxia arises as tumors grow rapidly, outpacing their ...

LONDON (Reuters) - A team of British doctors conducting experiments in the "Death Zone" of Mount Everest has recorded the lowest levels of blood oxygen in humans, far below those of critically ill ...
