Abstract
High altitude native residents and newcomers to a low ambient pressure (36 hr after arrival) have normal plasma levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the fasting condition. Thirty minutes after the intravenous injection of insulin the high-altitude residents show increase of epinephrine greater than in men living at sea level. These results are interpreted as a consequence of the lower glucose values observed at high altitudes. high-altitude physiology; catecholamines and insulin; hypoglycemia in hypoxia Submitted on February 12, 1965This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
