dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the neurochemical effects of chronic hypoxia in young adult rats exposed to low-oxygen conditions for three weeks. The authors evaluated changes in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) across several brain regions. Significant reductions in ACE activity, GAD activity, and GABA levels were observed in the substantia nigra, accompanied by additional alterations in the striatum, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. These findings suggest that chronic hypoxia may impair striato-nigral function and interfere with central nervous system maturation and neurotransmitter regulation, providing insight into the neurological consequences of prolonged oxygen deprivation.en_US
