Integrative crosstalk between hypoxia and the cold: old data and new opportunities
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review
Electronic versions
Cold stress and hypoxia have been the subject of research for decades; however, humans often encounter these stressors together, such as in the alpine environment. Therefore, this review summarizes previous data with respect to the influence of hypoxia on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular control in the cold and presents new ideas for the future. Altogether, little to no evidence is available on the integrative and adaptive mechanisms about how the human body regulates heat conservation, oxygen delivery, and maintenance of blood pressure.
