Figure 6. Systemic and leg O2 transport variables after rhEpo in normoxia and in severe acute hypoxia.

Figure 6

This figure refers to the invasive study. Cardiac output (panel A), systemic O2 delivery (panel B), systemic arterio-venous O2 difference (Syst. A-v O2 diff.) (panel C), systemic O2 extraction (panel D), leg blood flow (panel E), leg O2 delivery (panel F), leg arterio-venous O2 difference (Leg a-v02 diff) (panel G) and leg O2 extraction (panel H) are plotted against power output in the four experimental conditions, i.e. before and after a 14-week treatment with recombinant human erythropoieitin (rhEpo) during normoxia and acute hypoxia equivalent to an altitude of 4500 m. Values are means±SE in seven subjects. *P<0.05 after vs before rhEpo. §P<0.05 hypoxia vs normoxia.
