Figure 2

Black lines represent medians. Panel A shows individual high density lipoprotein (HDL) blood levels in Zurich (490 m) and Davos Jakobshorn (2590 m). HDL was higher on both days (d1, d2) at 2590 m compared to 490 m. *p<0.001 vs 490 m. Panel B shows individual total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein (HDL) ratios in Zurich (490 m) and Davos Jakobshorn (2590 m). Total cholesterol/HDL ratio was lower on both days (d1, d2) at 2590 m compared to 490 m. *p<0.05 vs 490 m. Panel C shows individual triglyceride blood levels in Zurich (490 m) and Davos Jakobshorn (2590 m). Triglycerides were lower on day 2 at 2590 m compared to 490 m. *p<0.05 vs 490 m.
