• Acute and potentially persistent effects of scuba diving on the blood transcriptome of experienced divers 

      Eftedal, Ingrid; Ljubkovic, Marko; Flatberg, Arnar; Jørgensen, Arve; Brubakk, Alf O; Dujic, Zeljko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      During scuba diving, the circulatory system is stressed by an elevated partial pressure of oxygen while the diver is submerged and by decompression-induced gas bubbles on ascent to the surface. This diving-induced stress ...
    • Evolution of the plasma proteome of divers before and after a single SCUBA dive 

      Lautridou, Jacky; Pichereau, Vianney; Artigaud, Sébastien; Bernay, Benoit; Barak, Otto; Hoiland, Ryan; Lovering, Andrew T; Eftedal, Ingrid; Dujic, Zeljko; Guerrero, François (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Purpose: Decompression sickness (DCS) is a poorly understood and complex systemic disease caused by inadequate desaturation following a reduction of ambient pressure. A previous proteomic study of ours showed that DCS ...
    • Immune and inflammatory responses to freediving calculated from leukocyte gene expression profiles 

      Eftedal, Ingrid; Flatberg, Arnar; Drvis, Ivan; Dujic, Zeljko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Freedivers hold their breath while diving, causing blood oxygen levels to decrease (hypoxia) while carbon dioxide increases (hypercapnia). Whereas blood gas changes are presumably involved in the progression of respiratory ...
