Because carotid cells produce so much dopamine — up to 45 times more than the fetal neurons — and because they thrive in the relatively low
oxygen concentrations found in the brain, he explains, they may do a better job at correcting Parkinson's symptoms than the fetal cells do — and they raise fewer ethical questions.

found widespread declines in
oxygen concentration in the upper ocean between the 1970s and the 1990s.
In test tube experiments, the researchers
found that their haemoglobin - coated particles picked up
oxygen when there was a lot around and released it later when the
concentration was lower.
By watching a capsule pass through the gut with an ultrasound, the researchers
found that
oxygen concentrations varied in different regions of the gut, for example between the stomach and the small intestine.
One possible explanation the researchers
found for the continued decline of
oxygen concentrations is related to changes in water temperature.

found new clues for the algal abundance, such as declining
concentrations of dissolved
oxygen and the role of snails in keeping springs clear.

oxygen concentrations in ancient iron - rich environments.

oxygen concentrations.
At the trace levels normally
found in biological systems (plants and animals), selenium apparently acts as an antimutagenic,
oxygen - radical scavenger, but at higher
concentrations selenium is capable of inducing mutations (cancer).»

find that the global methane hydrate inventory decreases by approximately 70 % (35 %) under four times (twice) the atmospheric CO2
concentration and is accompanied by significant global
oxygen depletion on a timescale of thousands of years.
But the boiling point of heavy water, as well as heavy
oxygen water (H2O ^ 18 rather than H2O ^ 16) are higher than that of normal water, and are
found in water vapor in the atmosphere at lower
concentrations when the global temperature is low.
In fact, declining
oxygen concentrations in the ocean's interior are currently
found to be a near - ubiquitous phenomenon for which the term ocean deoxygenation has been proposed.
