In consolidation of the most updated experimental results and
perspectives from diverse research fields on a main theme --
Intermittent Hypoxia, this book encompasses the structural,
physiological, pathophysiological, biochemical, genetic, metabolic,
and therapeutic aspects of intermittent hypoxia and provides an
open forum to promote the bench-to-bed translational implications
of both adaptive (beneficial) and maladaptive (detrimental)
responses to intermittent hypoxia in animals and humans. Authored
by 74 leading scientists from 17 countries in Asia, Europe, North
America, and Oceana, the 30 chapters are grouped under 7 different
sections covering the profound effects of intermittent hypoxia
particularly on cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and skeletal
muscular systems. Special attentions are paid to the protective or
injurious roles played by intermittent hypoxia and their underlying
cellular and molecular mechanisms in several major human diseases
such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, sleep apnoea, and
Parkinson's disease. Several chapters have also reviewed the use of
intermittent hypoxia training for enhancing exercise performance in
elite athletes. Overall, as endorsed by Professor John B. West
(Member, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences of
USA; Editor-in-Chief, High Altitude Medicine and Biology) through
his Foreword for the book, this is the most comprehensive monograph
to date on the topic of intermittent hypoxia, which can cause
significant structural and functional impact on the systemic,
organic, cellular and molecular processes of human physiology and
pathophysiology. Hence, this book could serve as a thorough
reference for research scientists, physicians, academic faculty,
graduate and medical students, athletic coaches and trainers, who
are interested in enhancing their knowledge about the past,
present, and future of intermittent hypoxia research and its
translational applications for prevention and treatment of major
diseases and improving exercise performance.
