Pulmonary Adaptation to High Altitude.
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
Studies completed during this contract year were aimed at defining: a) the role of the carotid bodies in ventilatory acclimatization to chronic hypoxia of varying severity; b) the effects of acute or chronic hypoxia on respiratory muscle metabolism; c) the effect of changes in pulmonary mechanics on periodic breathing during sleep in hypoxia; and d) the effects of heavy exercise--in normoxia and hypoxia--on chest wall mechanics and (in turn) on the control of ventilation and gas exchange (in humans).
