The specific ventilatory flow rate (Vw), cardiac output (Vb) and blood respiratory parameters were determined in the carp (Cyprinus carpio) during hyperoxia. Vb changed little during moderate hyperoxia (240-330 Torr) but slightly increased during extreme hyperoxia (430-490 Torr) while Vw decreased. This means that the ventilation-perfusion ratio considerably decreased during hyperoxia. The CO2 tension (PCO2) of blood rose, causing a corresponding decrease in blood pH. The O2 tensions (PO2) of arterial and mixed venous blood increased but remained low (about 40 Torr and 15 Torr, respectively). Consequently, the hemoglobin in the arterial and mixed venous blood was not saturated with O2 (about 80 and 55%, respectively) even during extreme hyperoxia. This indicates that most of the O2 which is consumed by the fish remains transported in a combined form during hyperoxia. During hyperoxia, when the decreased Vw was artificially elevated to the normoxic level, the PO2 of arterial blood (PaO2) rose further and the PCO2 and pH of arterial blood became restored to the normoxic levels. This suggests that the CO2 retention and the depressed increase in PaO2 during hyperoxia are mainly due to the decrease in Vw in the carp.

CO2 single breaths have been performed in 7 men and 7 women in conditions of normoxia (FICO2 congruent to 0.13; FIO2 congruent to 0.21; FIN2 congruent to 0.66) and of hyperoxia (FICO2 congruent to 0.13; FIO2 congruent to 0.87). Ventilatory responses of the subjects and modifications of breathing pattern in the course of the CO2 tests were also explored in the two conditions. The results (mean +/- SEM) show that, whatever the oxygenation, men and women exhibit the same ventilatory response during a CO2 test from a qualitative point of view but with a smaller intensity in women (men: 0.37 +/- 0.088 LBTPS.min-1.Torr-1; women: 0.15 +/- 0.025 LBTPS.min-1.Torr-1; p less than 0.05). Considering men and women together, CO2 tests induced an increase of minute volume VE (p less than 0.001), VT (p less than 0.01) and rate of breathing (NS) but this response is decreased in hyperoxic conditions (p less than 0.05) mainly in men (men: 0.19 +/- 0.043 LBTPS.min-1.Torr-1; women: 0.11 +/- 0.023 LBTPS.min-1.Torr-1). These results show that sensitivity to transient hypercapnia and its interaction with hyperoxia are weaker in women than in men.

Metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) released into bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of animals exposed to hyperoxia have previously been implicated as mediators of pulmonary oxygen toxicity. The alveolar macrophage (AM) represents an important potential source of these eicosanoids. We have therefore investigated the effects of in vitro hyperoxia (95% O2/5% CO2) versus normoxia (95% air/5% CO2) on the metabolism of AA in the AM of the rat. Exposure to 95% O2 for up to 72 h did not impair the viability or affect the protein content of cultured AMs. Hyperoxia for 24 to 72 h increased the accumulation of free AA liberated from endogenous stores in cultures of resting AMs. Despite this increase in free AA, no changes in synthesis of thromboxane B2, prostaglandin (PG) E2, PGF2 alpha, leukotriene (LT) B4, or LTC4 were observed in resting AMs exposed to hyperoxia for up to 72 h. This was not due to degradation of eicosanoids in hyperoxia. However, formation of cyclooxygenase metabolites from exogenously supplied AA was reduced in hyperoxia-incubated AMs, suggesting that hyperoxia inhibited the cyclooxygenase enzyme. In AMs stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187, both AA release and synthesis of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase eicosanoids were augmented after incubation in hyperoxia for 24 to 72 h. The increase in A23187-stimulated LTB4 synthesis caused by hyperoxia was inhibited by the antioxidants catalase, superoxide dismutase, and the intracellular cysteine loading agent L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, suggesting that the augmentation by hyperoxia of A23187-induced AA metabolism was mediated by reactive oxygen metabolites. Thus, hyperoxia has complex effects on AA metabolism in the AM, which include the ability to augment the release of AA and formation of bioactive eicosanoids. These findings support a possible role for eicosanoid synthesis by the AM in the pathogenesis of oxygen toxicity of the lung.

The relative contributions of O2- and CO2-sensitive chemoreceptor information to centrally generated respiratory patterns have changed dramatically during vertebrate evolution. Chemoafferent input from branchial O2 chemoreceptors modulates centrally generated respiratory patterns but is not critical for respiratory rhythmogenesis in fishes. In air-breathing fishes, branchial O2 chemoreceptors monitoring internal and external stimuli control the relative contributions of the gills and air-breathing organ to net ventilation, and chemoafferent input is necessary for initiating air breathing. In the transition from water to air breathing by amphibious vertebrates, rhythmic patterns of branchial ventilation are completely replaced by arrhythmic and intermittent patterns of air breathing, and there is progressive dependence on CO2 as a source of respiratory drive. Periodic initiation of air breathing in resting animals appears to depend on attaining a threshold level of afferent activity from O2- and CO2/pH-sensitive chemoreceptors, since hyperoxia and/or hypocapnia can abolish air breathing in all air-breathing vertebrates. Conversely, chemoreceptor stimulation in amphibians and reptiles converts intermittent to more continuous air breathing patterns, suggesting that adequate biasing input from chemoreceptors activates a central rhythm generator. Chemoafferent input in homeotherms serves as one of several sources of drive for rhythmic breathing and supplies feedback for blood gas homeostasis in the face of metabolic or environmental change.

Freshly isolated rat hepatocytes suspensions were incubated under an atmosphere of 95% O2/5% CO2 or 95% air/5% CO2 for 10 h. Cell injury and death were observed between the 6th and 10th hour of incubation, only in 95% O2-treated hepatocytes. Oxygen-induced injury was preceded by marked lipid peroxidation and rapid depletion of cellular alpha tocopherol content. The exogenous administration of unesterified alpha tocopherol (T, 25 microM) resulted in a 20-fold increase in cellular T levels (4.2 nmol/10(6) cells) but failed to protect these hepatocytes from the toxic effects of oxygen. In contrast, hepatocytes incubated with 25 microM of the succinate ester of alpha tocopherol (TS) contained both TS (3.0 nmol/10(6) cells) and T (1.4 nmol/10(6) cells) and were completely protected from the toxic effects of oxygen, including the induction of lipid peroxidation. These findings suggest that TS cytoprotection results not from the cellular accumulation of T but rather, from cellular TS accumulation. The data also indicate that the depletion of cellular T is not the critical cellular event that is responsible for hyperoxia (reactive oxygen intermediate)-induced injury. Instead, it appears that TS possesses unique cytoprotective properties that intervene in the critical cellular events that lead to oxygen toxicity. Thus, vitamin E succinate and our hyperoxic hepatocyte preparation provide a promising new model system for the study and prevention of tissue damage resulting from the toxic effects of hyperoxia and reactive oxygen intermediates.

We studied the effects of metabolic and respiratory acidosis (pH 7.20) and alkalosis (pH 7.60) on pulmonary vascular tone in 32 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs ventilated with hyperoxia (inspired oxygen fraction, FIO2 0.40) and with hypoxia (FIO2 0.10). Ventilation, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Ppw), and cardiac output (3 l.min-1.m-2) were maintained constant to prevent passive changes in pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa). Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis were induced with HCl (2 mmol.kg-1.h-1) and NaHCO3-Na2CO3 (5 mmol.kg-1.h-1) infusions, respectively, and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis by modifying the inspiratory CO2 fraction. The hypoxia-induced rise in Ppa-Ppw gradient increased from 5 to 9 mmHg in metabolic acidosis (P less than 0.001), decreased from 6 to 1 mmHg in metabolic alkalosis (P less than 0.001), remained unchanged in respiratory acidosis, and decreased from 5 to 2 mmHg in respiratory alkalosis (P less than 0.001). Linear relationships were found between pH and Ppa-Ppw gradients. These data indicate that in intact anesthetized dogs, metabolic acidosis and alkalosis, respectively, enhance and reverse hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Respiratory acidosis did not affect HPV and respiratory alkalosis blunted HPV, which suggests an pH-independent vasodilating effect of CO2.

Continuous exposure of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to an atmosphere of 98% O2, 2% CO2 (normobaric hyperoxia) leads within a period of several days to cytostasis and clonogenic cell death. Here we report respiratory failure as an important early symptom of oxygen intoxication in CHO cells, resulting in a more than 80% inhibition of oxygen consumption within 3 days of hyperoxic exposure. This inhibition appeared to be correlated with selective inactivation of three mitochondrial key enzymes, NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. The latter enzyme controls the influx of glutamate into the Krebs cycle and is particularly critical for oxidative ATP generation in most cultured cells, which depends on exogenous glutamine rather than glucose as a carbon source. As expected, the inactivation of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase was correlated with a fall in cellular glutamine utilization, which became apparent from the first day of hyperoxic exposure. Thereafter, glucose utilization and lactate excretion started to increase, up to 3-fold, indicating a cellular response to respiratory failure aimed at increased ATP generation from glycolysis. However, in spite of this response, the cellular ATP level progressively decreased, up to 2.5-fold. Thus, killing of CHO cells by normobaric hyperoxia seems to be due to a severe disturbance of mitochondrial metabolism eventually leading to a depletion of cellular ATP pools.

The purpose of this study is to examine effects of hyperoxic gas mixtures on changes of blood indices during bicycle exercise of human. Oxygen-enriched gases (30% O2) were inspired during the ramp load exercise of 25 watt/min. Changes of blood indices were analyzed with Sequential Multiple Analyzer with the computer (SMAC). The improvement of exercise performance were discussed about relationship between function of hyperoxic gas and physiological mechanism. Three experimental conditions were set as follows (I) 30% O2 +N2 gases balance, (II) air (21% O2), and (III) 30% O2 +2% CO2 +N2 gases balance. Arterial blood were sampled from the radial artery of the forearm in order to analyze following items; 1) pH level, PaO2, PaCO2, and HCO3 of these blood gases, 2) Blood sugar, TG, and F-CH of the blood contents, 3) red blood corpuscle, white blood corpuscle, Hb, and Ht values, 4) LDH, CK, GOT, and GPT of the blood enzymes, 5) TP, ALB, Na, K, Ca and Cl of the electric ions. In the case of inspiring hyperoxic gases, the recovery rate of blood indices increased after this ramp load exercise remarkably, and the whole exercise metabolism were removed from acidosis tendency to alkalosis value of the resting condition significantly. At hyperoxic experimental conditions, the blood sugar and oxygen consumption were much more decreased than these at normal oxygen content one during both states of exercise and recovery times. These data of the blood indices would support strongly to the hypothesis that improvement of oxygen delivery should be depended upon the enhanced performance with the hyperoxic gases. There might be effects of the hyperoxia on the cellular metabolism and on function of the vascular muscle during those aerobic exercise.

Seven human spinal cord-lesioned subjects (SPL) underwent electrically induced muscle contractions (EMC) of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles for 10 min: 5 min control, 2 min with venous return from the legs occluded, and 3 min postocclusion. Group mean changes in CO2 output compared with rest were +107 +/- 30.6, +21 +/- 25.7, and +192 +/- 37.0 (SE) ml/min during preocclusion, occlusion, and postocclusion EMC, respectively. Mean arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) obtained from catheterized radial arteries at 15- to 30-s intervals showed a significant (P less than 0.05) hypocapnia (36.2 Torr) during occlusion and a significant (P less than 0.05) hypercapnia (38.1 Torr) postocclusion relative to a group mean preocclusion EMC PaCO2 of 37.5 Torr. Relative to preocclusion EMC, expired ventilation (VE) decreased during occlusion and increased after release of occlusion. However, changes in VE always occurred after changes in end-tidal PCO2 (mean 41 s after occlusion and 10 s after release of occlusion). In the two subjects investigated during hyperoxia, the VE and PaCO2 responses to occlusion and release did not differ from normoxia. We conclude that the data do not support mediation of the EMC hyperpnea in SPL by humoral mechanisms that others have proposed for mediation of the exercise hyperpnea in spinal cord-intact humans.

Pulmonary diffusing capacities (DL) of NO and CO were determined simultaneously from rebreathing equilibration kinetics in anesthetized paralyzed supine dogs (mean body wt 20 kg) after denitrogenation (replacement of N2 by Ar). During rebreathing the dogs were ventilated in closed circuit with a gas mixture containing 0.06% NO, 0.06% 13C18O, and 1% He in Ar for 15 s, with tidal volume of 0.5 liter and frequency of 60/min. The partial pressures of NO, 13C18O, 16O18O, N2, Ar, CO2, and He in the trachea were continuously analyzed by mass spectrometry. Measurements were performed at various O2 levels characterized by the mean end-expired PO2 during rebreathing (PE'O2). In control conditions ("normoxia," PE'O2 = 67 +/- 8 Torr) the following mean +/- SD values were obtained (in ml.min-1.Torr-1): DLNO = 52.4 +/- 11.0 and DLCO = 15.4 +/- 2.9. In hypoxia (PE'O2 = 24 +/- 7 Torr) DLNO increased by 11 +/- 8% and DLCO by 19 +/- 10%, and in hyperoxia (PE'O2 = 390 +/- 26 Torr) DLNO decreased to 87 +/- 3% and DLCO to 56 +/- 8% with respect to values in normoxia. DLNO/DLCO of 3.24 +/- 0.06 (hypoxia), 3.38 +/- 0.31 (normoxia), and 5.54 +/- 1.04 (hyperoxia) were significantly higher than the NO/CO Krogh diffusion constant ratio (1.92) predicted for simple diffusion through aqueous layers. With increasing O2 uptake elicited by 2,4-dinitrophenol, DLNO and DLCO increased and DLNO/DLCO remained close to unchanged. The results suggest that the combined effects of diffusion and chemical reaction with hemoglobin limit alveolar-capillary transport of CO. If it is assumed that reaction kinetics of NO with hemoglobin (known to be extremely fast) are not rate limiting for NO uptake, the contribution of the slow chemical reaction with hemoglobin to the total CO uptake resistance (= 1/DLCO) was estimated to be 38% in hypoxia, 41% in normoxia, and 64% in hyperoxia. The various factors expected to restrict the validity of this analysis are discussed, in particular the effects of functional inhomogeneity.
