Abstract excerpt
Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) is a physiological gas found at low levels in the atmosphere and produced in cells during the process of aerobic respiration. Consequently, the levels of CO(2) within tissues are usually significantly higher than those found externally. Shifts in tissue levels of CO(2) (leading to either hypercapnia or hypocapnia) are associated with a number of pathophysiological conditions in humans and...
