Summary
Oxygen is a widely available gas that is cheap, easy to get and extensively used in medicine.
From animal studies it has become apparent that increasing or lowering the degree of oxygen
in the blood, the inflammatory response can be altered. We will investigate of this is also
true in humans by increasing, lowering or keeping oxygen levels normal while giving healthy
subjects a short inflammatory stimulus.
