Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels at adulthood are determined by neonatal hypoxic exposure in rats living at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: In previous work performed at sea level we
reported that exposure to neonatal hypoxia impairs ventilatory and hematological responses to chronic hypoxia later in
life. These findings supported the hypothesis ...
Sleep-disordered breathing and oxidative stress in preclinical chronic mountain sickness (excessive erythrocytosis)
(Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2013-01-22)
Abstract
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is considered to be a loss of ventilatory acclimatization to high
altitude (>2500 m) resulting in marked arterial hypoxemia and polycythemia. This case-control
study explores the ...
The sleep of elite athletes at sea level and high altitude: a comparison of sea-level natives and high-altitude natives (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
ABSTRACT
Background Altitude exposure causes acute sleep
disruption in non-athletes, but little is known about its
effects in elite athletes. The aim of this study was to
examine the effects of altitude on two groups ...

of 2 weeks at high altitude on the sleep ...
Life-long consequences of postnatal normoxia exposure in rats raised at high altitude
(J Appl Physiol, 2012-03-13)
We tested the hypothesis that exposure of high-altitude (HA) rats to a period of
postnatal normoxia has long-term consequences on the ventilatory and
hematological acclimatization in adults. Male and female HA rats
(3,600 ...
