▪ Abstract The high-altitude Andean and Tibetan Plateaus offer natural experimental settings
for investigating the outcome of the past action of evolution and adaptation as well as those …

Newcomers acclimatizing to high altitude and adult male Tibetan high altitude natives have
increased ventilation relative to sea level natives at sea level. However, Andean and Rocky …

The brain is a vital organ that relies on a constant and adequate supply of blood to match
oxygen and glucose delivery with the local metabolic demands of active neurones. It is well …

1. The ventilatory response to changes in end‐tidal carbon dioxide tension during
hyperoxia, obtained with Read's rebreathing method and a steady‐state technique, were …

Adenosine, a purine nucleoside, plays a variety of roles in cardiovascular and ventilatory
control, and may be a marker of tissue hypoxia. There is, however, no direct evidence of an …

The ventilatory response to isocapnic progressive hypoxia and hyperoxic progressive
hypercapnia in 24 diabetic patients were compared with those of sex and age matched …

Indomethacin (INDO) has the potential to be a useful tool to explore the influence of cerebral
blood flow and its responses to CO 2 on ventilatory control. However, the effect of INDO on …

The relationship between CO2 and ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia was examined
in nine normal young adults. At three different levels of end-tidal partial pressure of CO2 …

1. The ventilatory sensitivity to carbon dioxide obtained from a step‐ramp CO2 challenge
was compared to the CO2 sensitivity from the steady‐state method. 2. Experiments were …

Hypoxic ventilatory response is higher in successful extreme-altitude climbers than in
controls. We hypothesized that these climbers have lower brainstem blood flow secondary to …
