Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that increases blood plasma oxygen levels 10 to 20 times higher than normal to assist the body in healing its damaged tissues.

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Scientists have discovered that red blood cells act as hidden glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why people ...

Hypoxic conditions trigger red blood cells to absorb and utilize more glucose, reducing blood sugar and offering a potential therapy to control diabetes.

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

Red blood cells may hold the secret to fighting diabetes—by soaking up sugar when oxygen runs low. People who live high in the mountains have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than ...
