Endocrine and metabolic responses to extreme altitude and physical exercise in climbers

ContextChronic hypoxia induces complex metabolic and endocrine adaptations. High-altitude (HA) exposure is a physiological model of hypoxia.ObjectiveTo further investigate the endocrine and metabolic responses to extreme HA.MethodsWe studied nine male elite climbers at sea level and at 5200 m after...
