High-Altitude Living Shapes the Skin Microbiome in Humans and Pigs
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 While the skin microbiome has been shown to play important roles in health and disease in several species, the effects of altitude on the skin microbiome and how high-altitude skin microbiomes may be associated with health and disease states remains ...

Effect of high altitude on human postprandial 13C‐octanoate metabolism, intermediary metabolites, gastrointestinal peptides, and visceral perception [PDF]
Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2021 AbstractObjectiveAt high altitude (HA), acute mountain sickness (AMS) is accompanied by neurologic and upper gastrointestinal symptoms (UGS). The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that delayed gastric emptying (GE), assessed by 13C‐octanoate breath testing (OBT), causes UGS in AMS.

Effects of Hypoxemia by Acute High-Altitude Exposure on Human Intestinal Flora and Metabolism
Microorganisms, 2023 This study examined the effects of hypoxemia caused by acute high-altitude hypoxia (AHAH) exposure on the human intestinal flora and its metabolites. The changes in the intestinal flora, metabolism, and erythropoietin content in the AHAH population under altitude hypoxia conditions were comprehensively analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, metabonomics ...

Effects of High Altitude on Lipid Components of Human Serum
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1968 SummarySerum lipid components were measured in eight male subjects exposed to an altitude of 14,000 feet for 14 days. Concentrations of total lipids rapidly decreased after the third day of exposure and a similar, although less pronounced decrease was observed in cholesterol levels.

Adrenal, thyroid and gonadal axes are affected at high altitude
Endocrine Connections, 2018 Humans cannot live at very high altitude for reasons, which are not completely understood. Since these reasons are not restricted to cardiorespiratory changes alone, changes in the endocrine system might also be involved.

Physiological Responses to Hypoxia on Triglyceride Levels
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Hypoxia is a condition during which the body or specific tissues are deprived of oxygen. This phenomenon can occur in response to exposure to hypoxic environmental conditions such as high-altitude, or because of pathophysiological conditions such as ...

Effect of exercise on cerebral perfusion in humans at high altitude
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005 The effects of submaximal and maximal exercise on cerebral perfusion were assessed using a portable, recumbent cycle ergometer in nine unacclimatized subjects ascending to 5,260 m. At 150 m, mean (SD) cerebral oxygenation (rSo2%) increased during submaximal exercise from 68.4 (SD 2.1) to 70.9 (SD 3.8) ( P < 0.0001) and at maximal oxygen uptake (V ...
