Effects of age on hypoxic tolerance in women

Current Issues in Sport Science, 2023
Introduction The prevalence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) is increasing with altitude (i.e., 10-25% at 2,500 m and 50-85% at ~ 5,000 m; Bärtsch & Swenson, 2013). While there is no error-free test to predict its occurrence, several risk factors and

Variants of the low oxygen sensors EGLN1 and HIF-1AN associated with acute mountain sickness. [PDF]

, 2014
Two low oxygen sensors, Egl nine homolog 1 (EGLN1) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α inhibitor (HIF-1AN), play pivotal roles in the regulation of HIF-1α, and high altitude adaption may be involved in the pathology of acute mountain sickness (AMS).

Smartphone-Enabled Heart Rate Variability and Acute Mountain Sickness [PDF]

, 2017
INTRODUCTION: The autonomic system and sympathetic activation appears integral in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness (AMS) at high altitude (HA), yet a link between heart rate variability (HRV) and AMS has not been convincingly shown.
