The Role of GABAA Receptor-mediated Neurotransmission in Ventilatory Acclimatisation to Hypoxia

Exposure to chronic hypoxia (CH) leads to ventilatory acclimatisation to hypoxia (VAH) which is a time-dependent increase in breathing. This study examined the role of the GABAA receptor in establishing VAH. Rats were exposed to CH or control (normoxic) conditions for 10 days during which the GABAA...
