Oxidative stress is associated with cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and more disease processes. Cellular adaptation to oxidative stress is critical for human survival and an important factor related to reducing the course of these progressive diseases.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is well documented for its role in oxidative regulation and cellular protection. Interestingly, while 1 to 5 consecutive treatments can lead to a reduction in mitochondrial function, 20 to 60 consecutive treatments lead to a significant improvement in mitochondrial parameters <view study>
