  Hypoxia (medical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole (generalised hypoxia) or region of the body (tissue hypoxia) is deprived of adequate oxygen supply.
Severe hypoxia induces a blue discolouration of the skin, called cyanosis (haemoglobin is blue when it is not bound to oxygen (deoxyhaemoglobin), as opposed to the rich red colour that it has when bound to oxygen (oxyhaemoglobin)).
The term "hypoxic hypoxia" refers to the fact that hypoxia occurs as a consequence of low partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, in contrast to the other causes of hypoxia listed below, in which the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is normal.

 Hypoxia (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Environmental hypoxia in sea water or oxygen depletion, a reduced concentration of dissolved oxygen in a water body leading to stress and death in aquatic organisms.
Hypoxic zones, or dead zones, are hypoxic areas in the world's oceans.
Oxygen saturation is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium and is therefore a measure of hypoxia or hypoxic conditions.

Moreover, high expression and activation of p66 in hypoxic young and in normoxic old myocardia suggests a pathological increase of the response to oxidative stress in the former and a physiological progressive increase in the latter.
We previously demonstrated that intermittent hypoxia evokes persistent changes in extracellular striatal dopamine, locomotor activity and executive function, using a rodent model emulating apnea of prematurity in which rat pups are exposed to 20-second bursts of hypoxic gas mix containing 10% oxygen (60 events/h; 6 h/day) from postnatal days 7 to 11.
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) was simulated at 2 km (16.0% O2) or 5 km (10.8% O2) in a hypobaric chamber for 4 h/day from birth to 1, 2, 3, or 4 week(s), respectively.

 Hypoxia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Hypoxia is a state of oxygen deficiency in the body which is sufficient to cause an impairment of function.
Hypoxia is caused by the reduction in partial pressure of oxygen, inadequate oxygen transport, or the inability of the tissues to use oxygen.
[This is the hypoxia that is a hazard to aviators.]

 Hypoxia Definition Page
Hypoxia means "low oxygen." In estuaries, lakes, and coastal waters low oxygen usually means a concentration of less than 2 parts per million.
Hypoxia can cause fish to leave the area and can cause stress or death to bottom dwelling organisms that can't move out of the hypoxic zone.
The hypoxic zone is thought to be caused primarily by excess nitrogen delivered from the Mississippi River in combination with seasonal stratification (layering) of Gulf waters.

Hemoglobin concentration, and arterial, mixed venous, and mesenteric venous blood gases and oxygen saturations in basal conditions, and during IH and HH and in the sham group are shown in Table 1.
This gradient increases in ischemia and is preserved in hypoxia.
Other situations in which intramucosal acidosis could arise with preserved tissue perfusion are reperfusion injury [31] and cytopathic hypoxia generated by endotoxemia [32], with cellular damage and metabolic abnormalities as underlying mechanisms.

Altitude training, also known as hypoxic training, involves exercising in, living in or otherwise breathing oxygen reduced air for the purpose of improved athletic performance, pre-acclimatization to altitude and/or physical wellness.
Through the production of normobaric hypoxic (oxygen reduced) air, we can simulate altitudes of up to 21,000ft/6,400m.
When the human body is exposed to hypoxia (oxygen reduced environments), it struggles to produce required amounts of energy with less available oxygen.
