[Reactive oxygen species and redox-signaling during adaptation to changes of oxygen level]
Abstract:
Review of last 15 years literature and own experimental data on role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signalization in induction of cell protective systems and development of adaptive resistance. Modem ideas of ROS involvement in redox signalization, induction of transcription factors and protective proteins, ways of cell response to ROS, essential limitations of exogenic antioxidants are shown. Concept of ROS involvement in non-specific component of increase resistance is introduced. Peculiarities of author's method of adaptation to change oxygen level are discussed. Experimental data on efficacy of adaptation to periodic hypoxiahyperoxia from ROS-induced stresses are presented.

Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...
