Myoglobin levels in some tissues from wild Peruvian rodents native to high altitude.

Studies on dogs (1) and guinea pigs (2) have shown increments in the myoglobin content of muscles of individuals from high altitude as compared with individuals from sea level. More recently, the same relation has been shown in man by the use of biopsy material (3), but there are no data on wild species living at high altitude. Since wild mammals often have a more vigorous life, and since they ...

Effect of chronic hypoxia during the early stage of incubation on prenatal and postnatal parameters related to ascites syndrome in broiler chickens

To investigate the influence of hypoxia during the early stage of incubation on embryonic developmentand hatching events, and consequently on incidence of ascites in broiler chickens, one thousand fertile eggswere incubated in two commercial incubators. Half the eggs were incubated in a low altitude incubator untilhatched. The second half were incubated in a high altitude incubator until day 10...

Hemoglobin at High Altitude as Related to Age.

During the summer of 1962 the early phase of acclimatization to high altitude was studied in 6 of those who participated in the international high-altitude expedition to Chile in 1935. Ages of the 6 ranged from 58 to 71. Two also had taken part in a high-altitude study in 1929. In their earlier years these subjects had had an increase in hemoglobin concentration beginning with their arrival at ...
