Intermittent hypoxia, energy expenditure, and visceral adipocyte recovery

ConclusionOur hypothesis that IH would decrease EE was not corroborated. However, IH and normoxic recovery seem to promote severity-dependent enlargement of visceral adipocytes, likely reflecting altered energy preservation mechanisms induced by IH.
