My research examines the impact of hypoxia on lung function, with particular emphasis on respiratory mechanics in a murine model of allergic asthma. BALB/c mice are exposed to fixed periods of normobaric hypoxia to evaluate alterations in respiratory mechanics, allergic inflammation, and airway responsiveness. The primary objective is to determi...
