Key result
Chronic hypoxemia significantly increased nerve fiber conduction velocity (p<0.01) and abolished the response of group III-IV muscle afferents to lactic acid and electrically induced fatigue in rats.
p-value: p=<0.01

Does not support clinical changes in hypoxemia management; leaves open translation of rat afferent effects to human symptoms.
Dousset et al. (2001) studied Chronic hypoxemia. Chronic hypoxemia vs. Normoxemia was evaluated on Conduction velocity of nerve fibers and response of group III-IV muscle afferents (p=<0.01). Chronic hypoxemia significantly increased nerve fiber conduction velocity (p<0.01) and abolished the response of group III-IV muscle afferents to lactic acid and electrically induced fatigue in rats.
