Dynamic Observations on Mouse Oxygen Consumption and Some Other Indices during Acute Hypoxic Hypoxia / 昆明医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

In this article,the authors reported a modified method of determining Oxygen consump- tion for the mouse hypoxia experiment in order that the students could observe the dynamic change of oxygen consumption rate(OCR)and respiratory rate(RR)in the whole process of acute progressive hypoxic hypoxia on mice.The results showed that to reach the maximal OCR and RR,especially the latter,required more time as the survival time was prolonged. In a closed set of the same size,the heavier the mouse weighed,the shorter it survived,but there was an individual difference.
