Schematics of the intermittent hypoxia (IH) model used in this study. a Conventional ventilated cages that mimic usual housing conditions are placed in computerized hypoxic chambers to achieve IH exposures in mice. The system is composed of the Oxycycler, which is responsible for gas (N2, O2), air-inlet regulation, gas tank (N2, O2), computer (not shown) and the intermittent hypoxia chamber. b The paradigm of intermittent hypoxia in OSA model. The concentration of oxygen (O2) was maintained between 5 and 21% cycling in every 90s
