Erythropoiesis in the adult mammal depends critically on erythropoietin, an inducible cytokine with pluripotent effects. Erythropoietin gene expression increases under conditions associated with lowered oxygen content such as anemia and hypoxia. HIF-1alpha, the founding member of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alp…

Previously, a reduction in fractional inspired O2 (FIO2) during dynamic exercise of the human quadriceps muscles of one leg resulted in increased muscle blood flow (Q) and a fall in femoral venous O2 tension (PO2) but no change in peak O2 uptake (VO2). These data can be interpreted as reflecting an increase in muscle…

BACKGROUND: Physical activity influences energy metabolism in human subjects by increasing activity-induced energy expenditure and resting metabolic rate for several hours after exercise. Effects of exercise on circulating thyroid hormone values remain controversial. We have investigated the effect of acute aerobic ex…

The pathogenesis of high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE) is disputed. Recent reports show a strong correlation between the occurrence of HAPE and pulmonary artery pressure, and it is known that the oedema is of the high-permeability type. We have, therefore, proposed that HAPE is caused by ultrastructural damage to p…
