Subtle changes in brain blood flow and oxygen use are closely linked to hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s, including amyloid plaques and memory-related brain shrinkage. Simple, noninvasive scans may one ...

Hypoxic conditions trigger red blood cells to absorb and utilize more glucose, reducing blood sugar and offering a potential therapy to control diabetes.

Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T ...

From Silicon Valley biohackers to London's fashion crowd, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is having a moment. But does it live up to the hype?

Researchers have developed a battery-powered oxygen gel that accelerates the healing of chronic diabetic wounds ...

Subtle changes in how blood flows through the brain and how brain tissue uses oxygen may be closely linked to Alzheimer’s ...

Fittingly, the study showed that VO2 max scores were higher in more active states: DC (37.4 mL/kg/min), California (36.4 ...

Diabetes is less common among people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, than at sea level, and researchers who have discovered why that happens say the reason may lead to new ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low ...

Researchers aimed at clarifying the mechanism underlying this connection and tracking the fate of glucose in hypoxic animals.
