| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) in terms of the withdrawal test developed by Dejours in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and healthy controls. Findings included that there exist the individual differences in HVR for all subjects and HVR was gradually decreased in accordance with the order of healthy control and COPD and SAS. In patients with COPD, an acute exacerbation was not associated with HVR. In patients with SAS, there was no association between severity of sleep disordered breathing and their HVR. On the other hand, there was positive correlation between sleep efficiency and HVR. In addition, animal studies were performed to investigate the effects of aging on HVR and hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR). Both HVR and HCVR in C57BL/6J male mice were significantly lower at the age of 12 months than of 3 months, implying aging decreases the chemosensitivity.
