Summary
This study tested how seven to fourteen days of moderate hyperoxia alters breathing in juvenile and adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Juveniles briefly hypoventilated after returning to room air, whereas adults did not, but prior hyperoxia strengthened the ventilatory response to low oxygen in both age groups. UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips and a URC-500 console reader supported individual identification and temperature monitoring.
