found that the levels of hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelet number\erythropoietin concentration and red blood cell count was increased upon short-term normobaric hypoxia exposure in highly trained athletes but without any changes in physical performance53. A long-term hypoxia study on soldiers by Prommer...
The pros and cons of intermittent hypoxia administration have been a subject of active investigation in the recent past, primarily due to its clinical advantage. Our study is in line with the understanding of underlying cellular events of intermittent hypoxia induced changes in the human proteome and...
