Experimentally induced oscillatory shear stress (OSS) and hypoxia reduce endothelial
function in humans. Acute and sustained hypoxia may cause increases in resting OSS; …

Background and aims Exposing the endothelium to acute periods of imposed oscillatory
shear stress reduces endothelial function and elevates circulating microparticles (MPs) …

High-altitude exposure typically reduces endothelial function, and this is modulated by
hemoconcentration resulting from plasma volume contraction. However, the specific impact …

Acutely imposed oscillatory shear stress (OSS) reduces reactive hyperemia flow-mediated
dilation (RH-FMD) in conduit arteries of men; however, whether a similar impairment occurs …

The study of conduit artery endothelial adaptation to hypoxia has been restricted to the
brachial artery, and comparisons with highlanders have been confounded by differences in …

Introduction Exercise and heat stress lead to systemic improvements in arterial endothelial
function, vascular stiffness, and cardiopulmonary capacity. The improvements in endothelial …

The aims of this study were:(1) to test whether oscillatory shear stress further exacerbates
endothelial dysfunction in patients with moderate-severe COPD, and (2) to test whether low …

Exposure to hypoxia elicits widespread physiological responses that are critical for
successful acclimatization; however, these responses may induce apparent maladaptive …

Evidence indicates that increases in sympathetic nervous activity (SNA), and acclimatization
to high altitude (HA), may reduce endothelial function as assessed by brachial artery flow …
