THE OLFACTORY SYSTEM REGULATES ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2009 OBJECTIVE:Hyperventilation is the first response to hypoxia in high altitude (HA). Our study on rats was designed to establish an integrated hypothesis to include hyperventilation, increased activity of hypothalamicpituitary-adrenocortical axis (HPA) in ...
