[Changes in the functional status of lymphocytes in patients with chronic salpingo-oophoritis treated by normobaric...

Therapeutic exposure to normobaric hypoxia improves both clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with chronic salpingo-oophoritis. The unidirectional trend of change is due to normalization of major systemic functions, including lymphocyte activity, owing to the recovery of lymphocyte metabolism and redistribution of T cell subpopulations towards a greater proportion of T helper cells. Adaptation to a moderate hypoxic stimulus is a promising physiologic method of improving nonspecific systemic reactivity.
