Research Topic

High Altitude and Hypoxia

This cluster of papers explores the genetic and physiological adaptations of humans and other vertebrates to high-altitude environments, focusing on topics such as hypoxia, acute mountain sickness, erythropoietin response, oxidative stress, pulmonary edema, and the effects of endurance training. The research covers a wide range of aspects including molecular, systemic, and cellular responses to high-altitude conditions.
