Abstract
⺠We confirm that cervical spinal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) elicits phrenic motor facilitation. ⺠We confirm that cervical spinal erythropoietin (EPO) elicits phrenic motor facilitation. ⺠Four weeks of repetitive acute intermittent hypoxia does not enhance VEGF or EPO induced phrenic motor facilitation.
