Term name: normaxia
synonym: reoxygenation
Parent term: oxygen content (ZECO:0000187)
Definition: condition in which the environment content a concentration of O2 which is similar to the control. [****note: we do not have definition for hypoxia and hyperoxia]
Comment: this term could be used for conditions in which the experiment includes hypoxia treatment followed by reoxygenation by bringing the environment back to standard/control O2 concentration. This term should not be used to describe standard/control conditions

Maybe we could create similar term for Germ free + normal bacterial treatment.
(there might be other one too...)

instead of 'normoxia' I think it would be better to use 'reoxygenation', but this would seem to only cover hypoxia conditions. 'normoxia' is used to describe the 'normal' state of oxygen, not returning to normal state of oxygen. Did you need this term for return to normal from hypoxia or from hyperoxia? @sabrinatoro

@ybradford
'reoxygenation' was proposed to be a synonym. I don't have any argument against having it as the actual term name.
The proposed comment section mentioned that this term is for "hypoxia treatment followed by reoxygenation". If you think this should belong in the definition instead of the comment section, I don't have anything against it
