In a new study, a 12-week protocol of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) resulted in marked increases in aerobic capacity and cardiac blood flow [1]. Building pressure HBOT involves placing patients in a tightly sealed chamber where they breathe pure oxygen under higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This treatment has been approved for a small number of conditions,...

Transcriptomic results have been published regarding the Shamir Medical Center longitudinal study on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which was conducted between 2016 and 2020 on 35 healthy adults aged 64 and older [1]. Background Recently, we discussed misconceptions from the media on research developing on HBOT for age reversal. The researchers of this study have...

Recent experiments published in the latest issue of Aging associate hyperbaric oxygen therapy with improvements in several biomarkers of skin aging. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) In HBOT, patients are exposed to higher concentrations and higher pressures of oxygen than what they experience in everyday air. Pressures are commonly twice as high as air pressure at...

A group of Israeli scientists led by Prof. Shai Efrati investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on age-related cognitive decline in healthy older adults, and the results were promising. The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the body, but it has only limited intracellular energy storage [1]. In absence of local...
