(a) Effect of acute and acclimatory exposure to hypoxia on aerobic metabolism during exercise in two human lineages (lowlanders compared with Andean and Himalayan natives). Diagrammatic summary based on lowlander and Quechua data from Hochachka et al. (7). Main long term effects shown in Inset refer to the metabolic responses in Quechuas (7). ATP turnover rates during exercise standardized to Quechua data (7). (b) Effect of acute and acclimatory exposure to hypoxia on plasma lactate response during exercise in two human lineages (lowlanders compared with Andean and Himalayan natives). Diagrammatic summary based on lowlander and Quechua data from Hochachka et al. (7). Main long term effects shown in Inset refer to metabolic responses in Quechuas (7).
