Stem Cell Mobilization
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy mobilizes stem/progenitor cells (SPCs) by increasing the synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release. Studies have demonstrated that exposure to HBOT will increase mobilization (up to 8 times) of bone-marrow-derived SPCs in humans and the number of SPCs remain elevated in blood over the course of 20 HBOT treatments. The following study was published in the April 2006 edition of The American Journal of Physiology, Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
