Hypoxia & Inhalation Studies

… A mouse pulse oximeter (Mouse Ox, Starr Life Science Corp., Allison Park, PA) was also clamped on to the left foot of the rat and the … the side-firing probe which is roughly about 1 cm in diameter and thus is lower than the arterial blood saturation measured with the MouseOx. … Many studies […]

.. Furthermore, the effect of progesterone on oxygen desaturation and bradycardia during apnea was evaluated under baseline conditions and during the steady state of hypoxia using a pulse oximetry system for small rodents (MouseOx, STARR Life Sciences, Oakmont, PA, USA … We used whole-body plethysmography and pulse oximetry to assess the effects of acute administration […]

.. Body temperature was maintained at 37.0°C ± 0.5. End-tidal CO 2 (V9004 capnograph; Surgivet, Waukesha, Wis), heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation (MouseOx; Starr Life Science, Oakmont, Pa) were monitored and kept within physiologic ranges. … Purpose: To develop high-spatial-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) microangiography techniques to image the rat ocular circulation. Materials and Methods: […]

.. cage 96 accompanied by four un-instrumented mice. Mouse oxygen saturation (SaO2) and breath rate were 97 measured using a MouseOx neck cuff and StarrLink Hypoxia has been shown to rapidly increase triglycerides in mice by decreasing plasma lipoprotein clearance. However, the usual temperature of hypoxic exposure is below thermoneutrality for mice, which may increase […]

… A mouse pulse oximeter (Mouse Ox, Starr Life Science Corp., Allison Park, PA) was also clamped on to the left foot of the rat and … while both the tissue oxygenation measured by the side-firing probe (Figure8(b)) and arterial blood oxygenation recorded by the MouseOx (Figure 8 … Hypoxia and angiogenesis can significantly influence […]

Reduced cochlear blood flow (CoBF) is a main contributor to hearing loss. Studying CoBF has remained a challenge due to the lack of available tools. Doppler optical microangiography (DOMAG), a method to quantify single-vessel absolute blood flow, and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), a method for measuring the relative blood flow within a large volume of […]
