Effect of hypoxic episode number and severity on ventilatory long-term facilitation in awake rats

Episodic hypoxia induces a persistent augmentation of respiratory activity, termed long-term facilitation (LTF). Phrenic LTF saturates in anesthetized animals such that additional episodes of stimulation cause no further increase in LTF magnitude. The present study tested the hypothesis that 1) ventilatory LTF also saturates in awake rats and 2) more severe hypoxia and hypoxic episodes increase the effectiveness of eliciting ventilatory LTF. Minute ventilation was measured in awake, male Sprague-Dawley rats by plethysmography. LTF was elicited by five episodes of 10% O2 poikilocapnic hypoxia (magnitude: 17.3 ± 2.8% above baseline, between 15 and 45 min posthypoxia, duration: 45 min) but not 12 or 8% O2. LTF was also elicited by 10, 20, and 72 episodes of 12% O2 (19.1 ± 2.2, 18.9 ± 1.8, and 19.8 ± 1.6%; 45, 60, and 75 min, respectively) but not by three or five episodes. These results show that there is a certain range of hypoxia that induces ventilatory LTF and that additional hypoxic episodes may increase the duration but not the magnitude of this response.
