Table I.
Effects of treatment with isoflavones on the physiological parameters of patients with CMS (n=28).
| Time-point | CMS score (points) | Heart rate (beats/min) | SaO2 (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prior to treatment | 4.68±1.47 | 92.46±10.97 | 81.07±3.39 |
| Following treatment | 3.61±2.18 | 88.29±10.46 | 83.11±3.97 |
| P-value | 0.007 | 0.042 | 0.028 |
Values represent the mean ± standard deviation. P-value, comparison between values prior to and following treatment with isoflavones. CMS, chronic mountain sickness; SaO2, blood arterialized oxygen saturation.
