Effect of Intermittent Hypoxia on Ischemic‐Reperfusion Injury in Healthy Individuals

Brief periods of ischemia preceding an ischemic‐reperfusion injury attenuate the reduction in brachial artery endothelial function. It has remained unknown whether brief bouts of systemic hypoxemia would similarly mitigate the blunted vasodilatory response induced by an ischemic‐reperfusion injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether intermittent hypoxia protects against an ischemic‐reperfusion injury in young healthy...
