Stress-induced attenuation of the hypercapnic ventilatory response in awake rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To test the hypothesis that stress alters the performance of the respiratory control system, we compared the acute (20 min) responses to moderate hypoxia and hypercapnia of rats previously subjected to immobilization stress (90 min/day) with responses of control animals. Ventilatory measurements were performed on awake rats using whole body plethysmography. Under baseline conditions, there were no differences in minute ventilation between stressed and unstressed groups. Rats previously exposed to immobilization stress had a 45% lower ventilatory response to hypercapnia (inspiratory CO(2) fraction = 0.05) than controls. In contrast, stress exposure had no statistically significant effect on the ventilatory response to hypoxia (inspiratory O(2) fraction = 0.12). Stress-induced attenuation of the hypercapnic response was associated with reduced tidal volume and inspiratory flow increases; the frequency and timing components of the response were not different between groups. We conclude that previous exposure to a stressful condition that does not constitute a direct challenge to respiratory homeostasis can elicit persistent (> or =24 h) functional plasticity in the ventilatory control system.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
