Garage Gadget Tests Hypothesis
-
FCCC system
-
Controls and measures the amount of oxygen that passes over cells
-
Testing the link between hypoxia and NO production
-
FCCC delivers normal, low, or fluctuating levels of oxygen to cells
-
Researchers measure NO and iNOS levels in the cells
-
Results suggest intermittent hypoxia can cause inflammation
