Cellular pathophysiology. Part 2: Responses following hypoxia.
The first paper in this series discussed the physiological processes that occur within cells following an injury. This second and final paper looks at the physiological responses that occur following a hypoxic injury, including the problems caused by free radicals, nitric oxide and calcium. The implications for practice that result will be discussed in detail.
