The Effect of Hypobaria on Muscle Inflammation and Regeneration After Injury and Hemorrhagic Shock
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to understand the effect of long-distance flying on recovery after muscle injury and significant bleeding. This situation may affect recovery following combat injuries, especially if wounded service members are traveling from Asia to the United States. To date, we have tested the hypothesis that there will be no difference in well-being and white blood cells populations in skeletal muscle between male mice exposed to hypobaria for 16 hours and male mice exposed to normobaria. This hypothesis was supported. This finding suggests that long distance flying alone does not induce obvious physiological effects or affect the presence of white blood cells normally present in skeletal muscle.
