Impact of Short-Term Systemic Hypoxia on Phagocytosis, Cytokine Production, and Transcription Factor Activation in Peripheral Blood Cells

Table 1

Subject characteristics at baseline and under hypoxia equivalent to a height of 5500 m for 2 hours.

	Normoxia	Hypoxia
Age (y)	30±6
Height (cm)	178±8
Weight (kg)	75±13
Heart rate (beats/min)	73±9	87±11 *
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	129±10	119±16 *
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	82±6	73±10 *
