Inflammation is hitting the world harder than ever right now after many battled two straight years of pandemic-related anxiety. The National Cancer Institute states that inflammation is a “protective reaction to injury, disease or irritation of the tissues,” and...
Hypoxia and hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a review.
Abstract: Hypoxia causes a cascade of activity from the level of the individual down to the regulation and function of the cell nucleus. Prolonged periods of low oxygen tension are a core feature of several disease states. Advances in the study of molecular biology...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Alleviates the Inflammatory Response Induced by LPS Through Inhibition of NF-κB/MAPKs-CCL2/CXCL1 Signaling Pathway in Cultured Astrocytes.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibition neuroinflammation mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Primary astrocytes were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) after which they underwent HBOT and separate administration of...
Early Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Attenuates Burn-Induced Neuroinflammation by Inhibiting the Galectin-3-Dependent Toll-Like Receptor-4 Pathway in a Rat Model.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been proven to decrease neuroinflammation in rats. This study aimed to determine the potential mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of HBO treatment on burn-induced neuroinflammation in rats. Thirty-six...
Hyperbaric oxygen affects endothelial progenitor cells proliferation in vitro.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is a clinical treatment that contributes to wound healing by increasing fibroblasts proliferation, collagen synthesis, and production of growth factors, inducing angiogenesis and inhibiting antimicrobial activity. It also has been shown...
