Description
"Oxygen Sensing examines O[subscript 2] sensing systems in bacteria and Archaea ... demonstrates interrelationships among cell proliferation, energy metabolism, oxygen homeostasis, redox states, signal transduction, and gene expression in humans and other organisms ... details the role of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in sensory signaling ... describes the effect of hypoxia on carotid body structure and function ... and considers the effect of alterations in oxygen homeostasis on the pathophysiology of cardiac ischemia, cancer, stroke, and chronic lung disease."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
Intracellular O2 concentrations in humans and other mammals are maintained within a relatively narrow range, with partial pressures of O2 varying between a high of approximately 110 mmHg (16% O2 at sea level) in the pulmonary alveoli to a low of less than 20 mmHg (3% O2) in some areas of the heart, kidney, and brain.
