Baseline ventilation, hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and P50 were significantly lower in guinea-pigs than in rats. Chronic sodium cyanate (NaOCN) administration did not significantly increase hemoglobin concentration in either guinea-pigs or rats. It decreased the P50 significantly less in guinea-pigs than in rats. The high Hb-O2 affinity experimentally induced did not modify the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) of guinea-pigs and rats. At the same level of acute hypoxia, HVR was significantly lower in NaOCN guinea-pigs than in NaOCN rats. Guinea-pigs, genotypically adapted animals to high altitude, displayed relatively minor ventilatory and Hb-O2 affinity changes to NaOCN, and a relatively minor HVR to acute hypoxia. They probably use tissue and biochemical adaptive mechanisms, in addition to their limited extracellular responses to successfully tolerate ambient hypoxia.
豚鼠的基线通气、血红蛋白浓度(Hb)和P50显著低于大鼠。长期给予氰酸钠(NaOCN)对豚鼠和大鼠的血红蛋白浓度均无显著增加作用。它使豚鼠P50的降低幅度明显小于大鼠。实验诱导的高Hb-O₂亲和力并未改变豚鼠和大鼠的低氧通气反应(HVR)。在相同程度的急性低氧水平下,NaOCN处理的豚鼠的HVR显著低于NaOCN处理的大鼠。豚鼠是在基因上适应高海拔的动物,对NaOCN表现出相对较小的通气和Hb-O₂亲和力变化,以及对急性低氧相对较小的HVR。除了有限的细胞外反应外,它们可能还利用组织和生化适应机制来成功耐受环境低氧。
