Oxy-inflammation after repetitive "open circuit" dives in the Baltic Sea.
Repetitive dives in cold water induced a progressive increase in pre-dive ROS, 8-iso-PGF2α, 8-OH-dG, and IL-6. Oxidative stress was only partially contained by activation of endogenous antioxidant defenses, while IL-6 variation resulted from diving-related physical effort or oxy-inflammation. We did not find notable changes in the electrolyte balance, probably because all subjects examined were well- trained and experienced divers.
