What Researchers Did
Researchers investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on cardiac ejection, peripheral tissue oxygen utilization, lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood plasma radical and antioxidant activity.
What They Found
They found that hyperbaric oxygenation stabilized cell membranes, enhancing the functional capacities of cells and organs. This was evidenced by increased oxidation-reduction processes in tissues, an increase in cardiac ejection, and a rise from initially reduced concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
