Structural Modifications of the Brain in Acclimatization to High-Altitude
Adaptive changes in respiratory and cardiovascular responses at high altitude (HA) have been well clarified. However, the central mechanisms underlying HA acclimatization remain unclear. Using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with fractional anisotropy (FA) calculation, we investigated 28 Han immigrant residents (17-22 yr) born and raised at HA of 2616-4200 m in ...
متن کاملThromboelastometry and Platelet Function during Acclimatization to High Altitude.
Interaction between hypoxia and coagulation is important given the increased risk of thrombotic diseases in chronically hypoxic patients who reside at sea level and in residents at high altitude. Hypoxia alters the proteome of platelets favouring a prothrombotic phenotype, but studies of activation and consumption of specific coagulation factors in hypoxic humans have yielded conflicting result...
متن کاملRespiratory and circulatory changes during acclimatization to high altitude.
The studies of decreased barometric pressure made by Paul Bert (1) during the latter half of the nineteenth century may properly be considered as the beginning of modern knowledge of, and interest in, the effects of oxygen lack upon the human body. During the same period the rapid development of mountaineering as a sport produced a new occupational disease-altitude sickness, Or seroche as it wa...
متن کامل[Hemoglobin and testosterone: importance on high altitude acclimatization and adaptation].
The different types of response mechanisms that the organism uses when exposed to hypoxia include accommodation, acclimatization and adaptation. Accommodation is the initial response to acute exposure to high altitude hypoxia and is characterized by an increase in ventilation and heart rate. Acclimatization is observed in individuals temporarily exposed to high altitude, and to some extent, it ...
متن کاملHigh altitude acclimatization and athletic performance in horses
High altitude acclimatization produces a suite of physiological changes that might support an improved athletic performance at low altitude and thus lead to the strategy of athletic training at high altitude. Although there is substantial literature on high altitude physiology in humans, there are few studies on horses. Our interest in the physiological responses to high altitude in equids has ...
