Multifaceted Impact of Altitude and Hypoxia on Human Physiology

Altitude and hypoxia have a multifaceted impact on human physiology, affecting not only the production of red blood cells but also influencing other processes such as inflammation, cancer, and human metabolism. Exposure to multiple altitude camps or hypoxic environments can lead to quicker adaptation. The impact of altitude and hypoxia extends to stimulating approximately 60 other genes, as well as influencing capillarization and mitochondria.
