Abstract:
The influence of gas mixture with low PO2 (90-110 mm Hg) on calcium-phosphorus metabolism and biomechanical properties of femur bones at rats, who were kept under condition of hind-limb unloading during 28-days, has been studied. Loss of calcium and phosphorus during a day was less in rats, who was received gas mixture with lower PO2, than rats who was kept in condition of hind-limb unloading only. Hypoxic gas mixture stabilized mechanical properties of bones tissue in femoral bone of rats. Gas mixture with lower pressure of oxygen retard development of osteopenia and may be used with other corrective methods for situation osteopenia prevention.

01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
