Understanding the variable human response to hypoxia : physiological, genetic, and epidemiological investigations of acute mountain sickness susceptibility
High-altitude (and simulated high-altitude) environments can be extraordinarily stressful for low-altitude organisms because of the reduced oxygen availability (i.e. hypoxia). Humans, who live primarily at low altitude, can adjust physiologically (i.e., acclimatise or acclimate) to hypoxic environme...
