Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

A study published 19 February in Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press journal, found red blood cells step in as a major 'glucose sink' when oxygen levels fall.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that increases blood plasma oxygen levels 10 to 20 times higher than normal to assist the body in healing its damaged tissues.

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

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

Chronic wounds often spiral out of control because oxygen can’t reach the deepest layers of injured tissue. A new gel developed at UC Riverside delivers a continuous flow of oxygen right where it’s ...

Researchers collected blood from 23 runners right before and right after two endurance races: a 40-kilometre mountain race and the 171-kilometre Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. They then analyzed thousands ...

For years, researchers have noticed that people living in high-altitude regions are often prone to diabetes. Based on this notion, researchers at the Gladstone Institutes ...

A new breakthrough study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities could explain why patients with the ...
