Hyperoxia attenuates muscle sympathetic nerve activity following isocapnic hypoxia in humans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hypoxia may sensitize the carotid chemoreceptors, resulting in a sustained elevation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) that outlasts the hypoxic stimulus. To test this hypothesis, we determined the effect of carotid body inhibition on the sustained elevation of MSNA following isocapnic hypoxia in humans. Seven healthy subjects (5 male, 2 female) breathed 100% O(2) (hyperoxia) for 1 min before (2 interventions) and after (2-3 interventions) 20 min of isocapnic hypoxia (80% arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation). MSNA was continuously recorded from the common peroneal nerve with microneurography. There was no effect of hyperoxia on MSNA before exposure to isocapnic hypoxia. During the isocapnic hypoxia exposure, there was an increase in minute ventilation and heart rate that subsided once hypoxia was terminated. In contrast, there was an increase in MSNA burst frequency that persisted for approximately 25 min after cessation of the stimulus. Hyperoxia resulted in a transient reduction in MSNA burst frequency of 28% (P < 0.05), 15% (P < 0.05), and 9% (P > 0.05) in the three posthypoxia interventions, respectively. Our results suggest that input from the carotid chemoreceptors is obligatory for the sustained elevation of MSNA initiated by chemoreflex stimulation. We attribute the decrease in MSNA to a transient hyperoxia-induced attenuation of carotid chemoreceptor sensitivity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
