Stimulation by estrogen doesn't produce the normal amount of carbon dioxide, leading to tissue experiencing oxygen deprivation, swelling, and cell division 1 0 2Hyperventilation is common in sleep and shock, sometimes producing extreme vasoconstriction due to the loss of carbon dioxide 1 0 2Supplemental oxygen without carbon dioxide causes vasoconstriction, reducing the tissues' supply of glucose as well as oxygen and damages the retina when combined with too much light 1 0 2Breathing pure oxygen lowers the oxygen content of tissues 1 0 2Breathing rarefied air or air with carbon dioxide oxygenates and energizes the tissues 1 0 1Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid 1 0 2Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide 1 0 2In conditions that permit greater carbon dioxide retention, circulation is improved and the heart works more effectively 1 0 2The loss of carbon dioxide from the lungs in the presence of high oxygen pressure increases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, and restricts its delivery to the tissues 1 0 2At high altitude, the slight tendency toward carbon dioxide-retention acidosis decreases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, making it more available to the tissues 1 0 2
