β-adrenergic blockade does not prevent polycythemia or decrease in plasma volume in men at 4300 m altitude

When humans ascend to high altitude (ALT) their plasma volume (PV) and total blood volume (BV) decrease during the first few days. With continued residence over several weeks, the hypoxia-induced stimulation of erythropoietin increases red cell production which tends to restore BV. Because hypoxia a...
